Welcome to Notes to Selves.

I'm Dr. Sarb Johal. For over 35 years, I've worked in the field of human behaviour, helping people find calm and resilience in the face of uncertainty.

This newsletter is where I share my most personal work. It's my private journal for making sense of the modern world—a space to explore the intersection of technology, wellbeing, and the human condition from a Gen X perspective.
