Happy New Year

A quick quote and thought and then an update on what you can expect in the year 2019 here at The Hidden Why. Thank you all for your continued support.

“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbours, and let every new year find you a better man.” Benjamin Franklin

This is not a practice savoured for New Year’s Day. New Year’s Day is the day to measure our progress. To reflect on the year that has been. To see how well we succeed in the battles with our vices and how truly peaceful we were with our family, friends and neighbours. How truly peaceful we are with ourselves. The goal is not to be better than everyone else, to compare our achievements with the world. The goal is to be a better person. To compare ourselves with who we were yesterday. To know how we feel.

There Is Nothing Wrong With You!

By Leigh Martinuzzi 

The world is in perfect order. Everyone else and everything else seems to be great. Then we look inwardly. “My life sucks!” We get that feeling of irrelevance. Our perspective becomes warped. We begin to believe there is truly something wrong with us.

Finding Happiness

By Leigh Martinuzzi

The primary pursuit in life is happiness. Well, that is at least my belief and despite that, I also understand it’s not. I realise that in the deeper constructs of our human being there are more purposeful motivations in life. The fundamentals of life – love, connection, status, certainty, progress, reproduction, and survival, to name a few. Regardless, for many of us, happiness seems to occupy a decent level of focus in our lives. The question I ask is what is it and how do we find it? (more…)

The Future & Tech

In this interview, I speak with Futurist Matt Ward about Exponential Technologies and Where We are Headed. People talk about AI and blockchain, Crispr and VR yet the vast majority of folks do not realize how quickly the future is coming or which industries will have the largest impact. Worse still, many believe their futures to be much like their pasts and yet the science, especially when it comes to ageing and AI is advancing exponentially faster than people expect.

Individuals that see the future before it is here are able to better prepare and succeed as the world changes. We discuss why and how exponential technologies will affect health, longevity and humanity. Matt’s greatest concern is that almost globally, society, politics and the cultures we exist in are limited by short-term thinking. Perhaps the best way forward with an attempt to avoid any major catastrophes is to encourage more conversations like this one. Enjoy! (more…)
