You have probably read loads of self improving literature such as Stephen R. Covey’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People® or Edward de Bono, the author of The Six Thinking Hats even if I think for example Plato or Heidegger has more to give in terms of human purpose or thinking.
What I really like with Arianna Huffingtons initiative “Thrive Global” is that they help you translate all that self-improvement insights into actionable outcomes in todays changing society.
“Thrive Global’s mission is to end the stress and burnout epidemic by offering companies and individuals sustainable, science-based solutions to enhance well-being, performance, and purpose, and create a healthier relationship with technology.”
You might already have heard about some of their apps where your phone will stop your feeds and even let others know about it

Reflection
One of their posts actually triggered this post and is about how Deep Thinking In The Age of Distraction with the subtitle: “Disconnect. Your imagination, creativity and next big idea depends on it.”
It made me reflect that the time I spend on researching and writing my post and articles is one of my ways to log out and spend focused time on thinking and reflecting and from time to time come up with new thoughts, ideas and perspectives.
It also reinforced my view that I want to offer you as a reader a site that is not overly busy, free from ads and neither is selling you something. I also want to create content that triggers your own reflection and to do that I try to avoid to push a very strong opinion and instead offer more of: “On one side and on the other side”
It is often tempting to create material that is more of a click bait with “5 steps to the Smart Society” or “This is why most companies will fail to become Smart Companies”.
I also realize that I am far from maximizing my social media use in terms of creating provocative material that will raise comments (that will increase the post exposure) or go in and like other post in an expectation they will do the same back.
If you have read this far I have three favors to ask you:
1 – Please give some feed-back in this short pol to help me develop the post and the site:
2 – Link to this site or favorite posts from your social media platforms
As I need all the help I can get to reach out (you have links to most social media further down on the page).
Especially to become spread LinkedIn posts needs both likes and comments.
3 – Subscribe
You find the link in the right upper column to subscribe per mail and I commit to trigger not more than 3 mails per week and typically I post only twice a week.
You can also follow me on Twitter or WordPress where you have all posts or LinkedIn (but where their AI only show a post to 10 % of my follower and based on their reaction makes a call how many will see the post).
