Changing the Way You Think

Why Changing the Way You Think Changes You—and the World

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of changing the world—to make it a better place for me, my children, and the people I love.

So I studied movements and revolutions of the past. And the way they were described by historians was often through a figure. For most of my life, I thought that changing the world meant becoming someone extraordinary—someone like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Martin Luther King Junior.

But I was wrong. Changing the world does not happen alone. No one is powerful enough to change the world by themselves. Only a big mass of people can steer the world.
Changing the world cannot be done alone
Changing the world can only be done as a group

I saw another pattern: every big change in history started with a thought, a shared vision.
Revolutions start with an idea

These figures were not superhuman. They were people. Normal. Flawed. Human. What made them powerful wasn’t their actions—it was that they had a vision, and more importantly, that others shared it. Because without that shared vision, you’re just one person who thinks differently than everybody else.

Think about it. A revolution doesn’t succeed because of one general. The Civil Rights movement wasn’t carried on Martin Luther King Jr.’s shoulders alone. Every one of these moments needed thousands—millions—of people who began to see the world differently.
changing the way community thinks creates change

And here’s the realization: you and I are already changing the world simply by existing in it. Every action we take, every belief we carry, every conversation we have—it all shapes society around us.
Changing the world starts with changing ourselves
Everyone is changing the world

The big difference between someone who changes history and someone who doesn’t is intention. It’s vision.
A clear vision is critical for communal progress

Most of us move through life with ideas in our heads, but no vision guiding our action. We get pulled along by invisible strings—social expectations, culture, routine.

So the question becomes: how do we cut those strings? How do we stop being passive participants in the world and become active creators of a better world?

The answer is simple, but profound: we change the way we think.

Every movement that transformed history—every revolution, philosophy even religions—began as a shift in thinking. A new way of seeing the world. A vision people could share. A mental language they could all speak.

When you change your thinking, you change what you do. And when enough people change what they do, the world itself changes.

Think of a small shift in your own thinking, like deciding to treat people with more patience. That doesn’t just change you—it changes your relationships, your community, even strangers you interact with.

The world is nothing more than the sum of our thoughts made real. Change your thoughts, and you change the world.
Everything starts with the mind

And the world is changing. You can feel it. There are so many things around that tells me that things are about to change. I want to be part of it because I want this change the good for me, my future children and all of humanity. But right now, I don't feel like we're ready for change. We don't think the right way. We think how this society has taught us to think. To change society, to change it well, we have to change how society thinks. And that's what this course is about and that's why it's called Ways of Thinking.

About This Course

It isn’t a typical lecture. It’s not about memorizing facts or learning theories. It’s about exploring how you think, how you see the world, and how that shapes your life.

It’s for everyone—no matter your worldview, religion, or philosophy. And this is not a philosophy course. I’m not trying telling you what to think, or how to think. I'm just sharing ways of thinking that I use, and you can decide if that's useful in your life.

Your worldview is like your operating system—it runs in the background, shaping how you see everything. I don’t want to change that.

Your ways of thinking are like the apps you use. This course is not about replacing your operating system. It’s about upgrading your apps—or adding new ones you didn't know existed.

And it all started with one question.

A question from a recurring dream: What are your ways of thinking?

Since then, for two years, I’ve been questioning everything I thought I knew, everything I’d been told, everything I believed.

I asked myself: How do I think? How do people think? And ultimately, how should we think as a society?

If you asked science that question, it would tell you how thinking works: neurons, synapses, brain chemistry. Interesting, yes—but it doesn’t answer the deeper question: what is it like to think, and how can we change it in practice?

So this course is my experiment. And I am the guinea pig.

I’ve tested these ways of thinking on myself—on how I view the world—and it has changed my life for the better.

I used to be scattered, full of vague intentions. Now I’m actually creating something—this course.

And this project also answers the second question from my dream: What is my life purpose?

I see this course as one part of my personal purpose—and I’m happy to share it with you.

To be honest, I don’t know if this will be a success. But to me, success is simple: changing one person. Changing in a way that they can envision their own future.

If I change the way you, listener, think—even a little—that’s success for me. That’s all I want. Anyway, I see personal value in creating this course for myself. If others can resonate with it, even better.

Because changing the way you think determines what you see, what you notice, what you believe is possible.

Sometimes, we see things as impossible—and that stops us. The way you think shapes your choices, your relationships, your future.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or overwhelmed—it’s not just the circumstance. It’s the lens you’re using to look at the world. And when you change that lens, the picture changes.

That’s why revolutions, religions, movements didn’t start with armies or money. They started with ideas. With new ways of thinking.

Because ideas can’t be killed. That’s why so many revolutions couldn’t be crushed. The ideas were stronger than any single person.

This matters because your thinking is also the foundation of your life. And when you shift it—even a little—you don’t just change yourself. You ripple out into the world. You change the world.

But to create large changes, people need to share a vision. But to see and understand that vision, people must share a common language. They need to think in compatible ways.
Good communication required a shared language

That’s why I want to create this course: to build a common language. Not so we all believe the same things—but so we can use the same lens to see the world, with our own beliefs as the background.

This course is a journey you can take if you want. I cannot promise answers. I’m still an apprentice myself. But by sharing, I hope we can learn together.

This is not a passive course. It’s not about listening once and moving on. It’s self-directed. You’ll get the most out of it if you think while you listen.

Take the time to think by pausing the episode. Ask yourself the questions I ask you. By doing the exercises I suggest.

And then discuss—with friends, with strangers, and in the subreddit I’ve set up for this course. Thinking begins alone, but it grows stronger in conversation.

Everything here is free. No ads. No hidden paywalls. This is part of my purpose, and I believe these ideas belong to everyone.

I have planned 12 episodes that will be released every Thursday at 11:11, starting on October 2nd, all the way to December 25th. It's meant to have an end.

Every episode will offer something concrete: a perspective, questions, and an exercise. And if you try, I believe you’ll notice a difference in how you see the world.

So if you’re convinced or intrigued, then come with me and let’s see if we can change the world—one mind at a time.

Starting with yours.

Shall we?
