Biography

Jan Seidel is a writer and strategist based in the German-speaking part of Europe. In his mid-40s, he has developed a particular interest in one recurring question: why do smart people make life harder than it needs to be? His work explores practical ways to think more clearly, act more deliberately, and navigate modern life with less noise and more structure. Rather than offering quick fixes or loud promises, Jan focuses on grounded ideas, honest reflection, and strategies that can actually be applied in everyday situations. He believes that progress rarely comes from dramatic breakthroughs — but from small, consistent decisions made with intention. When he’s not writing, Jan enjoys strong coffee, long rides with his motorbike, and occasionally reorganizing things that didn’t need reorganizing in the first place.
