<b>Join <a href="https://twitter.com/fortelabs">Tiago</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/visakanv">Visa</a> for this intimate continuation of our March event, as we dive into the secrets of living a good life: what lies beyond utility and analytical thinking, how we can open ourselves to wonder, joy, community, and the flow of it all...</b>

Self-improvement is a constant obsession in our society, but Tiago questions the focus on "self." At the end of the first chapter of his first book, <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MDNDYYF/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MDNDYYF/ref%3Ddbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1650907164206000&amp;usg=AOvVaw38sp8Lp9N1dYg-S64fLX6d">Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize</a></i>, he writes: "<i>You may find this book in the “self-improvement” category, but in a deeper sense it is the opposite of self-improvement. It is about optimizing a </i><i>system outside yourself</i><i>, a system not subject to your limitations and constraints, leaving you happily unoptimized and free to roam, to wonder, to </i><i>wander </i><i>toward whatever makes you feel alive here and now in each moment."</i>

<i> </i>This different kind of "optimization" is the theme of this much awaited salon. We hope you can join us bringing your personal stories and lived experience – your own adventures in the flow – and discover how you can optimize beyond yourself and start to really improve in a meaningful way.
