Hi, I’m Ole. I’m currently taking a year to focus on deep reflection and self-discovery, after reducing my work commitments. My goal during this time is to better understand my core values and how they align with the work I want to pursue, particularly within the Effective Altruism community. I’m exploring questions around personal motivation, curiosity, and how to balance rationality with deeper emotional and existential insights. When I’m not reflecting or writing, I’m diving into new fields of study, considering educational opportunities, and mapping out the future steps I want to take in EA-related work.

I’d love to help others by sharing my experiences with deep reflection, value exploration, and navigating personal growth. If you’re also working on aligning your inner motivations with the work you want to do in the world, I’d be happy to discuss approaches, tools, or practices that I’ve found helpful. Additionally, I can offer insights into mindfulness practices, managing the balance between rationality and emotions, and creating space for self-discovery, especially for those who feel stuck or overwhelmed in their journey.
