How a failed musician gave rise to Journalling

If you’re even remotely interested in mental health, you’d have heard about the benefits of journalling. While it may seem like an obvious thing today to put your feelings down on paper, the positive impacts of the practice wasn’t discovered until the turn of the millennium.

In this episode, we explore the story of how a failed musician led to the discovery of psychological benefits of journalling, and how a couple of friends in search of a novel business idea gave (new) life to the famed Moleskine notebook, which embodies the idea of an elegant journal.

I invite you to think about what could result from each of us broadening our horizons, and diving deep into something that intrigues and excites us.

I started doing that recently, on my Substack. And it's been thoroughly rewarding.
