Hey everyone,
Happy New Year all!
So 2024 has begun, and so far I am seeing a lot of excitement and aspiration around.
I want to ask a very big favour from all you here:
As we dive into the new year, I've been contemplating something intriguing and thought it's the perfect time to seek your valuable opinions.
Here's the question that's been on my mind: How important do you find the ability to recognise and interpret patterns in our daily lives? 🤔
Whether it's noticing trends in data, identifying recurring themes in your favourite books, or simply recognizing patterns in your work, the ability to see and understand patterns can be a powerful cognitive skill. It plays a role in various aspects of our lives, from problem-solving to creativity.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!
Do you actively engage in recognising patterns, and if so, how has it impacted your personal or professional life? Are there specific instances where recognizing patterns has been particularly beneficial or, perhaps, challenging?
Feel free to hit 'reply' and share your insights.
Your perspectives will not only make for a fascinating discussion but also contribute to a broader understanding of how patterns shape our experiences.
Let's kick off 2024 with a collective exploration of this intriguing aspect of our cognitive toolkit!
Lots of love

Hey everyone! Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal! I just started reading Visual Intelligence by Amy Herman. It is not the most well-known of psychology books out there, but all I can say is: WOOWWW! The way it makes you see the world is phenomenal! This book is based on her flagship program known as the Art of Perception. The name is apt: Mastering the skill of observation and upgraded perception through works of art by some of our famous painters and minds. It is split into 4 sequential...
Hey everyone! So last week I wrote about a book I was reading, Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. Just yesterday, I finished it. It talks about how television has revolutionised the way we interpret information and unfortunately, Postman cries out well-thought negativity on this change. This talks about especially how we think critically and understand our perception of the world. Now that I’ve finished the book I want to give some key points that I found incredibly helpful for you...
