Kiara Bickers - Systems Thinker and Author

Hi, I'm Kiara Bickers...

I am a writer and creator of this site you're in. I write simple observations on the principles of life, thoughts decision making, strategy, and the systems that guide them. Each of the articles here is a look through the prism of systems thinking.

I'm the author of the book Bitcoin Clarity: The Complete Beginners Guide to Understanding.. And I'm currently working on the books, tentatively titled Crypto Chaos: Preparing for Hyperbitcoinization and Lost Lessons From The Ages, a series on classical history and mythology.

How My Work Will Benefit You

I’m an advocate for useful ideas. The central question I explore through my work is, “How can we live better?”

In other words, I want to find great ideas and explain them in a way that is easy to use and apply to daily life.

My writing focuses on topics like…

  • How to start (and stick to) good habits
  • How to make good choices and avoid bad ones
  • How to accomplish more in less time
  • How to create better systems and processes
  • How to achieve meaningful results without overwhelming yourself

Most of all, I write about how to put these ideas into practice in daily life.

Most of the concepts I write about aren’t my own. They are ideas I discover and build upon after many hours of reading and research. I look for insights from all fields: architecture, biology, economics, history, mathematics, physics, philosophy, and more. I consider it my job to find the best ideas and explain them in a way that is actionable and easy-to-understand.

Humankind progresses by adding layer upon layer of knowledge. We all benefit from the insights of our ancestors. I like the idea of leaving a great “intellectual inheritance,” and I’m trying to add a little bit of knowledge to the pile by creating this website and sharing my work.

I don’t claim to have all the answers and I still have a lot to learn, but I’m happy to share what I’ve discovered so far. My work isn’t the only way to think about life, but it’s how I think about it. Hopefully, you’ll find it useful as well.
