After spending almost a decade living abroad as a tech solopreneur and investor, I noticed something strange in me and in others. I tried to hustle my way to freedom in any way possible— moving from one job to another, from one country to another, building one app after another, but the patterns always remained the same. In me, and in those around me.

I am definitely not a guru, and this book is not a guide to anything. It is a reflection and a collection of thoughts and observations on how the economic and social structures of our world shape the way we live and who we become.

My search for answers has taken me through research in technology, science, philosophy, and psychology. I don’t claim to have all the answers— far from it —but in this book I share the directions that, to me, seem most promising for living a life truly worth living in the years ahead.
