About

I’m Omer. For years I had the kind of job a lot of people want. A big tech company, a great salary, bonuses, stock. And every year I was a little more unhappy. I kept asking myself, is this it? I wanted out. I just had no idea how.

Today I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I work on what I want, when I want, where I want, and with who I want. If I feel like it, I can go to the beach on a weekday.

I haven’t figured it all out, though. Some things worked out in ways I still can’t fully explain. Other parts of my life I’m still struggling with.

I’ve spent a long time learning how the way we think shapes the life we end up with. A lot of what I tried said I had to believe hard enough. That never worked for me.

What’s worked better is two things together. I change how I think and act, which is the part I can control. Then I let go of the rest and trust that something bigger than me is at work. When I do both, I’m less anxious about outcomes, and things tend to work out, often in ways I didn’t plan.

I experiment on myself, and this is where I write it up: what worked, what didn’t, and the mistakes I made along the way, so you don’t have to make them too.

I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida with my wonderful family.
