What science, philosophy, and life taught me about mastering our most valuable asset, the brain.

Why Does Jona Do This?

A B O U T M E

Just solving my own problems and capturing the solutions.

Hi, I'm Jona Ragogna.

I'm obsessed with everything that helps me thrive and succeed in a world flooded with, quite frankly, despicable sources of immediate gratification.

This makes me analyze hundreds of studies, dissect dozens of ancient philosophical arguments, and then write them up into an essay here. I do this mainly to remind myself of what I've learned, but I love seeing others gain from it too.

I'm also a Davis Scholar at Macalester College where I'm deepening that exploration by studying psychology and conducting my first piece of research on self-control and smartphone addiction.
