What Makes Me Feel Good
It’s fair to say that my free time during the last few months has been pretty unproductive. I felt tired after work, skipped the gym and any kind of physical activity and stayed home looking at my phone almost every evening. And I can see how badly this routine is affecting me.

A Little Bit More About Happiness
Only 3 days after publishing “Requiem for happiness“, where I speak about my favourite views in relation to happiness and the different theories that study how to achieve that bliss in your life, the book I was reading took me by surprise by bringing up this topic. “The Slight Edge” takes the subject to a different level in order to prove a single theory concerning a fulfilled lifestyle and personal development. The author provides the theory about development and growth and applies its practice to every area of life. I take very seriously my duty of keeping you updated with the latest news and discoveries regarding a happy lifestyle, so…
