keep it 100

100 words with Alan Rodriguez Rios

Alan Rodriguez Rios writes and publishes Human+, a weekly self-improvement newsletter that explores what it means to be human and, as he puts it, “a better one at that.” In this month’s “keep it 100” micro interview, Alan shares with us his love of travel, a bit of advice, and his favorite feline.

Answers can be any length, but the total word count—including my 8 questions—can’t exceed 100 words.

10-word Bio

Navigating this human existence through seeking, wondering, and loving.

Favorites    

• writing spot: on the beach. It’s paradise on Earth

• book: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

• foreign country: probably Mexico, but I’d love to backpack through Italy

What inspired your newsletter?

I wanted to put my own voice out there, especially in a genre that defined a lot of my formative years.

Got pets?

Too many to name! The real rockstar is my sphynx cat named Din.

Best self-improvement advice

Take it slow! Self-improvement doesn’t have to be a grind.

Strangest vacation

Getting food poisoning in Vienna :/
