Brain

I love learning new things. I'm typically taking a Coursera course and leafing through 3 books for different areas of my life, generally around design, behavior, and mental models. Psychology is absolutely fascinating to me, and I'm always striving to discover new methods for improving my way of living. When I have blocks of extra time, I also enjoy sharing my learnings via Medium or social media.
