Bonjour, je suis Erik Thor, développeur, psychologue et écrivain. J’explore les spectres de la personnalité, les fonctions cognitives et le développement. Lisez mon parcours ou soutenez mon travail.

Have you ever felt like you’re interested in everything? Do you jump from philosophy to programming, from psychology to politics? If so, you might just be a budding polymath. But what is a polymath? It’s not about being a “jack of all trades, master of none.” A true polymath develops deep expertise in several different fields, allowing them to see the world from a unique and integrated perspective. It’s about becoming a master of learning itself. In this video, I share my personal journey and the 10 key principles I’ve learned along the way that have helped me cultivate a polymathic life. This is about more than just acquiring skills; it’s a mindset, a way of life that leads to a richer, more dynamic, and deeply fulfilling existence. You don’t have to pick just one thing for the rest of your life. I’ll show you how.
