Improving your life requires more than just reading pop psychology. You need to consider mindset, physical and mental health, romantic relationships, work and productivity as well as social and familial interactions.
The day-by-day approach helps with the overwhelm. The diversity of topics, actionable advice and links to “rabbit holes” help you determine what concepts to skim, what to think about deeper, and what to research in-depth.

Experts talk their talk, and more often than not they are very good at it. But if you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. For us readers and listeners it’s difficult to connect varied disciplines on our own. We can miss the full picture.
Which is why most of the 366 concepts discussed in no magic beans pull information from at least three diverse sources or disciplines to give you a unique and holistic perspective of the topic.
No soundbites, no aphorisms, no AI slop. Just new perspectives.

I have spent the last thirty years or so playing around with the Internet, under the fancy titles of “Digital Strategist“, “Founder” and “Thought Leader“.
But those are just the day jobs.
When the lights are dimmed and the kids are asleep, I retire with my various devices and old-style books to read and to listen. I have so, so many questions, always, and lots of curiosity itches that need to be scratched.
No Magic Beans is a passion project that I wrote for myself. I noticed that experts speak with brilliance, but usually only within their field. They rarely connect dots across disciplines. And I think – possibly – that it’s in discovering those connections where the secret to a meaningful life lies.
I see No Magic Beans as a stepping stone. I synthesise knowledge that I think is relevant, and offer you opportunity to go down rabbit holes to scratch your own itch. I hope you enjoy the book, and find some benefit from reading it.
