Reason, purpose, video games and self-esteem.
Affirmations are somewhat controversial things, because their intent is built around the prospect of positive thinking and self empowerment, but they’re also plagued with terrible philosophies and ideas that use them in ineffective ways that lead to wishful thinking. It’s always important to remember that just because you say to yourself “I can do this”, […]
Thoughts and emotions are an endlessly fascinating area to me, because they’re both so closely connected that they can often also be confused with one another, and the challenge of disentangling yourself from intense emotional experiences or ruminative thoughts can be very difficult but also extremely rewarding. One thing that people don’t seem to recognize […]
Readers of my blog and newcomers (welcome!) have likely encountered many people who have espoused extraordinary ideas and fantastical, idealistic claims.

A short post, but today is the day my book has finally gone live! I started work on my book as a collection of thoughts and graphs on A4 papers, and eventually turned it into a short book on teaching language, problems faced in Japan and methods to approach teaching. It’s all based off of […]
