Beyond Self-Improvement: Tiago Forte and Visakan Veerasamy

Join Tiago and Visa 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…

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, Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize, he writes: “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 system outside yourself, a system not subject to your limitations and constraints, leaving you happily unoptimized and free to roam, to wonder, to wander toward whatever makes you feel alive here and now in each moment.”

 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.
