About
Hey, I’m Anthony Avedissian, and welcome to my website. Whether it's through books and articles or podcasts and videos, I love to feed my intellectual curiosity and deep-dive into an array of subjects.
As part of my constant drive for personal development, I like to write about my interests and experiences because it helps me think more clearly while helping me discover and develop new ideas.
I launched this website to publish my writing because it forces me to write more and allows me to easily share my thoughts and personal experiences that some people might find useful or interesting. This, in turn, acts as a feedback platform for me while also helping me virtually meet new and interesting people from around the world.
