This is a conversation with one of my close friends, Hugo, who is 25 years old. Hugo was diagnosed in October 2023 with stomach-gastric cancer, stage 4 (terminal cancer). It is one of the most difficult cancers to treat.Hugo has been given a life expectancy of approximately 10 months. He has been fighting cancer undergoing chemotherapy for 7 months.In this conversation we talk about how he found out the news, his emotional state, how he fights daily to maintain a positive attitude despite the prognosis.This conversation was initially done in Spanish. The video went viral and a lot of Hugo's friends do not speak Spanish. That is why we sat down again to have the conversation in English.

Holistic productivity is the remedy to the pervasive hustle culture that promotes productivity at the expense of our relationships and humanity. Toxic productivity is violence to the soul. In this episode, I talk about 5 principles I live by when structuring my week and work life. Work to live, don’t live to work. I share how I optimize my life to love more (not do more) while doing meaningful work.#1 Principle: Work according to your body energy.#2 Principle: Time blocking with fixed-schedule productivity.#3 Principle: The simpler the routine, the better.#4 Principle: Ruthlessly eliminate distractions.#5 Principle: Work to live, don’t live to work.📖REFERENCES📖If you want to learn more about time blocking and fixed-schedule productivity, please read and listen to all the content Cal Newport has.

In this episode of the Philosophy in Real Life podcast, I talk about my reading methodology. It really sucks to invest so much time and not remember the things you read or just finishing a book and come to the realization that you just ended up with a vague idea about a book that you found meaningful. Needless to say, not all the books have the same value to us. In this video I share my thought process from picking what book to read to how I go about keeping quotations and book summaries. These are the main points I discuss in this episode 6: 1. How much do you know about the field? 2. What book should you pick? popular versus academic3. My method: the three levels of reading4. Bonus Segment: How I use Notion to keep my book summaries It means a lot when you give like and share the video.
