Confidence goes way beyond your technical skills…
This is what it can look like:
👉 Taking responsibility.
👉 Giving credit to others.
👉 Speaking up in meetings when you can add value.
👉 Staying quiet when you don’t have any value to add.
👉 Questioning the status quo when you see value in it.
👉 Picking up difficult stories because you can find a way…

At the end of the week, I like to make a statement about breaking the connection from work.
🟢 Some people might do it with a nice cold one, and who could blame them…
For me, it's a celebration of getting out of that chair, moving around and being more active.
🟢 Today, it will be a gym workout

I have too many tasks, too many interests, too many things going on. Luckily, I think I can reduce all of this.
So my ultimate goal is to turn crazy quantity into quality. I'll share my efforts and how things are going.
I'll be honest and personal. Sometimes it won't be pretty reading. So I'll remain deliberately anonymous.

Einzelgänger’s Fabulous Video Essays on Calm & Philosophy 🪷
The YouTube channel Einzelgänger is soothing us of late. It’s headed by an anonymous Dutch narrator who has revealed little about himself over the years, preferring to dish out his philosophical insights minus the attention seeking.
His video essays explore practical philosophy lessons alongside human psychology and wider questions on the human condition. All of it is contemplative but learned, challenging social norms in our hard-right capitalist society to help people overcome tedious social burdens.
YouTube’s Einzelgänger is a Pathway to Calmness
The core of the channel is stripping away the sense of excess and glory many people expect from this hard-right capitalist society we live in. An economy where wealth and status are celebrated as having succeeded in life.
A note on the channel name, einzelgänger in German means “loner” or “lone wolf”. The channel does celebrate personal agency and remaining unconcerned with the wailing mania of modern life.
Namely, the expectation of wealth, status, fame, and ATTENTION.
The host challenges modern, lingering notions by turning to various philosophers. Epictetus, Aristotle, Laozi, Socrates, Marxism, Kant etc. Sometimes they get the basis for a whole video, other times an overarching analysis of how their opinions apply to our era. It’s curious how we can separated by millennia from these people, but their wise words still ring true.
For example, Greek stoic philosopher Epictetus taught that inner peace comes from a focus on what you can control, then accepting what you can’t:
“Any person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.”
Taoism, existentialism, stoicism etc. They’re all covered on the channel. If you factor what Lao Tzu wrote in Tao Te Ching you get the general gist of the assuring essays:
“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.”
These are all concepts we’ve channelled over the years on Professional Moron. In amongst the absurdist satire and social commentary, we’ve brainwashed you all with propaganda about ignoring social conventions and yearning for stupid things (i.e. wealth, lots of stuff, and power).
Einzelgänger takes things even further, using his well read brain to consider his own philosophies as applied to the expectations of western society. See below.
Bringing the Reality of Life to YouTube
It’s common on YouTube channels for the creator to be very goddamn annoying. Clickbait, ragebait hyperbole is one way to try and quickly get a reputation. Many will start their videos with a heightened persona (“HI GUYSSS!!!“) and surface act their way through videos with shrill intonations.
Einzelgänger isn’t about any of that, there’s a very stoic approach to his work.
Take his recent social commentary essay on a childfree existence. Over 20 minutes he calmly makes his point, highlighting his mental health struggles, and probable autistic traits. Nothing flashy, just well argued and clearly explained whilst considering both sides of the argument.
This is a big one right now as Conservatives are in uproar about childfree people. They yearn for “traditional values”, yet vote for an economic system that rips families apart, creates mass poverty, and ensures younger generations can’t afford children. Then they blame feminism.
But it is the ideal way to debate. Consider the argument, respond calmly, weigh up the situation, push on.
You can have a temper tantrum later, if you want, and go online and call some left-wingers “libtards”. Up to you. But it’s this graciousness in thought Einzelgänger has that’s so sorely lacking in the social media era. Where the likes of Elon Musk respond to arguments on X with AI generation content or laughing crying emojis to try and make it look like he’s not upset. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To reach a point in society where someone so inherently vile is considered “normal” as he has 14 kids is kind of a problem. Besides, we’re raising a pet cat (Susan). Thus, we’re doing our bit.
Finding Peace in the Mayhem of Life
Einzelgänger isn’t pining over the past here and yearning for simpler times, the channel is essentially a self-help platform for burned out people. He’s aware the wisdom of smart people from the past can guide our moral conscience today, as you can see with another slice of Taoist philosophy above.
He also has a Substack blog (Journey of Ideas) should you wish to read his words, rather than hear them.
In a September 2026 post Why We’re All Burning Out, he turns to Korean-born German philosopher Byung-Chul Han for insights. Han is noted for his criticisms of digital capitalism, hustle culture, and achievement obsessed economic system.
“The insidious thing about the achievement society is that, as members of it, we think we’re free, but, as Han makes clear, we’re not. The achievement society also has its own forms of confinement, but they’re so hidden and paradoxical that most people don’t even realize they exist. The real Matrix is today’s society: a celebrated illusion of freedom and boundless opportunity that, in reality, is one of the most ingenious prisons ever created. And the ‘freedom’ we fight for (and some are even willing to die for) is illusory. We’re not free.
One of the fundamental differences between disciplinary and achievement societies is what Han calls the ‘negativity of Should’ versus the ‘positivity of Can.’ In the case of ‘Should,’ there’s an external force telling us what to do, placing restrictions upon us, and imposing rules …
An essential difference between ‘Should’ and ‘Can’ is that the latter involves an internal motivator. Han describes this as ‘carrying a work camp inside.’ We have become our own masters. Instead of being put into prison camps where a bunch of sadistic guards force us to work, we embody the camp as we push ourselves to work; we’re both the guard and the prisoner. Intrinsic motivation is more effective than extrinsic motivation.”
It’s thought provoking stuff and will annoy anyone who has sold their soul to capitalism. For anyone who hasn’t (such as if you’ve experienced a long bout of unemployment in a system that just doesn’t work), in this content you’ll find the reassurances you need to understand you aren’t a failure.
All it takes is to be content, cool, and self-aware enough to be a positive force to those around you. Even if this means, in capitalism’s eye, you’re a pathetic loser. It’s the Einzelgänger way of things.

-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Massive review confirms the connection between emotional intelligence and human flourishing
A review of psychological research indicates that emotional intelligence has a robust and reliable connection to human flourishing, predicting success across school, work, and personal health. The findings suggest that people with higher emotional intelligence tend to experience greater well-being, though the strength of this connection depends on how the traits are measured. The research was recently published in the journal PNAS.
For decades, psychologists have debated what makes some people thrive while others struggle. One popular idea is emotional intelligence, a concept that rapidly gained public attention in the 1990s. Broadly speaking, the term refers to how well a person navigates their own feelings and the feelings of others.
Since its introduction, the idea has spawned thousands of academic papers and grown into a multibillion-dollar training industry. Yet, because researchers define and measure this concept in various ways, its exact relationship with life success has remained difficult to synthesize.
Psychologists generally divide emotional intelligence into three categories. The first is an ability-based model. This model treats emotional skills like a cognitive test, assuming there are objectively right and wrong answers when identifying or managing emotions.
The ability model specifically looks at how well people recognize emotions, use them to guide decisions, and regulate them. The second category is a trait-based model, which relies on self-reported personality characteristics. Under this model, researchers ask participants to rate their own adaptability, assertiveness, and impulse control.
A third category, called a mixed model, combines both objective abilities and self-reported traits into a single assessment. Beyond the differing definitions of emotional intelligence, researchers also look at a wide variety of life outcomes. To find out how these different models connect to positive life experiences, researchers Tyler J. Robinson and Ethan Zell from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro analyzed decades of data.
The researchers wanted to see if emotional intelligence consistently relates to human flourishing. Flourishing is a broad psychological term encompassing mental health, physical health, psychological adjustment, and workplace success. To answer this question, Robinson and Zell conducted a second-order meta-analysis.
A standard meta-analysis is a statistical technique that pools the results of many individual studies to find an overall trend. A second-order meta-analysis goes a step further, combining the results of multiple previous meta-analyses. This approach acts as a quantitative summary of previous summaries, providing a broad view of an entire scientific field.
By pooling data from 62 previous meta-analyses, the researchers gathered information from more than 3,000 individual studies. This massive sample included over one million participants, allowing the researchers to look for overarching patterns across different ages and cultures. The data included populations from Western nations, non-Western nations, children, adolescents, and adults.
The researchers found a reliable, positive association between overall emotional intelligence and human flourishing. This positive link appeared across 77 unique life outcomes. The most prominent associations emerged in areas like workplace leadership, job performance, and psychological adjustment.
The data showed that emotional intelligence was linked to better outcomes regardless of the participants’ age group or geographic region. When looking at different categories of life outcomes, the researchers noticed slight variations in the strength of the connection. Emotional intelligence was most strongly related to success in the workplace.
The connection was slightly weaker, though still reliably present, for cognitive abilities and general academic performance. The researchers also found strong associations between emotional intelligence and specific outcomes like lower rates of job burnout, higher subjective well-being, and better romantic relationship satisfaction.
To put these findings into perspective, the researchers compared emotional intelligence to the Big Five personality traits. The Big Five is a well-established psychological framework that measures openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The analysis revealed that emotional intelligence is just as strongly, if not more strongly, associated with human flourishing than any of the Big Five personality traits.
Out of all the specific outcomes analyzed, only one showed a negative relationship with emotional intelligence. That outcome was a form of self-centeredness known as nonpathological narcissism. The researchers noted that individuals with this specific type of narcissism tend to artificially inflate their own scores on self-report questionnaires.
Because they overrate their own emotional abilities, the data showed an inverse relationship between their actual traits and their reported emotional intelligence. More conventional, pathological narcissism was linked to lower emotional intelligence. Measurement styles heavily altered the broader results as well.
The association with human flourishing was most pronounced when researchers used the mixed or trait-based models, which rely on participants rating their own emotional skills. When studies used objective performance tests to measure emotional abilities, the association with life outcomes was weaker. This pattern became especially apparent when looking at how both emotional intelligence and life outcomes were measured.
The researchers found the strongest connections when both variables were assessed using self-report questionnaires. When one variable was measured subjectively and the other was measured objectively, the relationship between the two shrunk considerably. This dependence on measurement methods highlights an important limitation in the data.
When participants fill out multiple surveys about themselves, they may naturally rate themselves positively across the board. This shared method of data collection can artificially inflate the statistical connection between self-reported emotional intelligence and self-reported life satisfaction. The researchers noted that the particularly strong link to workplace outcomes might be partly driven by this shared measurement style, as many workplace studies rely on self-reported surveys.
Because the data in this review is entirely correlational, it cannot prove that high emotional intelligence causes a person to flourish. It is entirely possible that flourishing in life makes a person more emotionally intelligent over time. Alternatively, a third unmeasured factor, such as a stable upbringing or access to resources, could independently contribute to both higher emotional intelligence and greater life success.
The researchers also excluded studies that evaluated training programs. Because of this exclusion, they could not determine if actively training emotional intelligence causes a subsequent increase in human flourishing. Objective tests of emotional intelligence also face modern challenges.
The authors pointed out that recent studies show artificial intelligence language models perform just as well as, or better than, humans on objective emotional intelligence tests. This raises questions about what these tests are actually measuring. It remains debated whether text-based tests capture practical emotional skills or if they simply measure a person’s reading comprehension and ability to understand written scenarios.
To improve the quality of future research, the authors suggest refining how emotional intelligence is categorized. They recommend moving away from the mixed model, which blends traits and abilities in a way that creates conceptual confusion. Instead, they suggest that future studies explicitly separate objective emotional abilities from self-reported personality traits. Separating these variables would help scientists determine exactly how distinct emotional skills contribute to a fulfilling life.
The study, “Robust associations of emotional intelligence with human flourishing: A second-order meta-analysis,” was authored by Tyler J. Robinson and Ethan Zell.
