Credentialism is, probably, society’s biggest problem – yet, nobody talks about it. Most probably, because a lot of people are taking advantage of them. What is it?

I often find myself needing to explain this concept – which, unfortunately, is not exactly short nor straightforward. So: here’s this post about it. How people buy There’s 2 main decision making systems that propel people in life 1- What I like (passion/need – rational purchase) 2- What will make me liked by others (trait […]

When people read “mental illness”, they think, by association, of some sort of “psychological virus”. That can be cured through seeing a doctor and taking medications, just like you do when you catch a virus and the doctor gives you pills and rest until it’s fixed – and, then, life goes back to normality.
