The 8 goals I set for my future self (and you should too)

Something is happening to the world — and it’s happening faster than we think.

I recently attended Singularity University in Palo Alto, and what I learned there genuinely shocked me:

The power of AI is doubling every 3.3 months.

Let’s break that down. 

If something doubles every three months, it becomes 16 times more powerful in one year. In two years, it’s 256 times more powerful. And in five years, thanks to exponential growth, it will become a million times more powerful.

That ...

How to clear negative energy with 13 holistic rituals for mind-body-spirit balance

You walk into a space and feel instantly off. Nothing’s happened, but oh boy, the vibe’s heavy. Your body knows it, even before your brain catches up.

Then, you see someone quietly crying in the corner. Maybe they just received distressing news or are processing unspoken grief or heartbreak. And without meaning to, they’re letting the energy ripple out and thicken the air.

Unfortunately, it can latch on to you and build up… if you don’t know where you end and other people begin. But throug...

Endomorph male body type: Your guide to burn fat, hold muscle, and stay powerful for life

Your frame is solid and broad. As nature intends it, your burliness means you’re built to lift and last. 

But the results? They’re not keeping up with the effort you’re putting in at the gym or in the kitchen. This has nothing to do with laziness, though. It’s just how nature has shaped the biology of the endomorph male body type.

Knowing what this term means can answer why your results stall, even when your attempts don’t, especially if you’ve been following one-size-fits-all fitness advi...

Lust vs. love: What’s the real difference?

Your skin lights up when they text. And your stomach flips every time they walk in. But somewhere between the dopamine rush and 2 a.m. overthinking, a tiny voice whispers, “Is this the start of something real… Or just your libido playing dress-up?”

That’s the thing about lust vs. love. Both can hit hard. Both can hijack your sleep. But one lays a foundation. The other gives you a high, then vanishes as quickly as it shows up unannounced on your doorstep.

The way we love and the way we des...

4 science-backed ways to boost your logical-mathematical intelligence and sharpen your mind

There are people who feel their way through life. And then there are those who calculate it. 

They map subway routes faster than Google Maps, spot loopholes in loyalty programs, and break down a relationship like it’s a logic puzzle. They’re the ones with logical-mathematical intelligence.

You could be one of them. And knowing the ins and outs of this style of thinking might just change how you see your strengths.

What is logical-mathematical intelligence?

The “logical-mathematical i...

The underrated power of musical intelligence—and how to use it for peak performance

Some people speak in facts. Others speak in feelings. And then, there are the ones whose brain secretly lives in a jazz bar.

They’re the ones with musical intelligence.

[There are] actually multiple intelligences. There’s not just one way to view intelligence or our level of genius.

— Jim Kwik, trainer of Mindvalley’s Superbrain program

Having that musical brain is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood forms of smarts. But it’s also one of the most powerful.

If you’ve ever fe...

Why 2025 will be the year you start manifesting in real time

Hey tribe,

It’s Vishen here, and I want you to pause for a second.

Take a breath. Feel into your body. Now, ask yourself this:
Is something in you shifting right now?

Because I’ve been feeling it. The people around me have been feeling it. And if you’ve felt like your identity is unraveling a little—not in a breakdown kind of way, but in a sacred, “I’m being called to evolve” kind of way—you’re not alone.

This isn’t burnout.
This isn’t confusion.
This… is the beginning of your upgrade s...

Solar plexus chakra: A guide to your personal power

That creeping self-doubt that chokes your momentum.

The projects you start but never finish.

The pit in your stomach when it’s time to speak up, show up, or take the risk.

You may think these are signs that you lack motivation and confidence. And you may be on to something… just not in the way you think.

From an energetic and spiritual standpoint, what you’re experiencing is likely a power circuit shorted at the source: your solar plexus chakra.

When it’s off, everything stalls. B...

9 types of intelligence that matter more than IQ (and how to work with yours)

When you hear the word “intelligence,” who pops into your head?

Someone who quotes quantum theory for fun? Someone who crushed their SATs and never forgets a fact? A Sheldon Cooper? An Amy Farrah Fowler?

But that’s just one of the types of intelligence out there. There are more…the kind that tests never touched.

While we may continue to use the words smart and stupid, and while IQ tests may persist for certain purposes, the monopoly of those who believe in a single general intelligence...

The truth about covert narcissists and how they quietly wreck relationships

You’ve probably encountered a narcissist at least once in your life—someone who’s repeatedly self-centered, lacking empathy, cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing, and demanding.

Like a Joffrey Baratheon. Or a Miranda Priestly. Or a Regina George.

But have you ever encountered a covert narcissist?

When you walk away from a conversation with them, you tend to feel guilty, confused, or like you’re too much.

And the punchline is, you don’t even realize it’s happening… until it’s too...
