There is a lot of information in this book and a lot to process. The gist of it is that dopamine is the molecule that drives our decisions and action, and that many times we have little control over it.

The book helps with self-introspection, encouraging you to analyze where your dissatisfaction or unhappiness stems from, and whether you can do something about it. Continue reading

Angela Merkel is a true inspiration. The first of many—first woman chancellor of Germany, first politician from former East Germany, and for me, the first of many who stayed true to what they believed in. She has been criticized, ridiculed, and put down, yet she has always been a symbol of stability and consistency. Many might say she was rigid and inflexible, but it is admirable to be so firm about following through on a commitment. Continue reading
