Let me introduce myself
Art has played an enormous role in my life. I wanted to convey the richness and value that it brings. An artwork is an object with meaning - it is not just decoration or an investment. I am convinced that if you understand how meaning emerges from a work of art, you can apply that insight to living a meaningful life. The book is therefore a memoir, through the lens of an art collection, arriving at a philosophical framework for living meaningfully.
What do I do?
I head up Vitality AI, working with a team of highly talented people to use science and behavioural economics to make people healthier in 35 countries of the world. It is exciting, challenging, and meaningful. But I am also deeply involved in the art world, and I have been collecting art for moere than two decades and, now, I write books.
