Hi, I'm Alex.

​

Since the moment I was born, I have been passionately curious. When I was two days old, I already had bruises on my elbows and knees for crawling my way out of the crib.

​

As I grew older (and a little wiser), this curiosity developed into a profound love for harmony and the magic of what Aristotle described as “the whole being greater than the sum of its parts”.

​

Over time, my search for harmony led me to myriad interests:

• Social sciences (economics, accounting)

• Games (chess, poker)

• Sports (rugby, snowboarding, sailing, breakdance)

• Music (classical, lounge)

• Religion (Christianity, Buddhism) 

• ... and reading

 

In my opinion, few activities in life are as varied and engaging as reading. Books not only open the door to virtually limitless knowledge, they are also a powerful enabler of change through self-reflection. As Ray Dalio put it in 'Principles': PAIN + REFLECTION = PROGRESS.

​

Please forgive the occasional typo, I do write mostly for my 'future self'. These syntheses are only my personal interpretation of the book's meaning – not a general summary.

​

I hope you find as much wisdom in these books as I have.
