100 reasons to be atheist: (And yet find meaning in life)

<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; background-color: white;\">I grew up in a Catholic family near Barcelona. I studied at a La Salle
Brothers Catholic school and at ESADE, a Jesuit-run business school.
During my teenage years, I began to question religion, which led to a
sort of epiphany as I started to regard life outside the belief
framework in which I had been raised.



Professionally, I have been the managing director in several countries
for various multinationals, in sectors such as health, nutrition, and
organic food. Then, I became a private investor and an entrepreneur in
biotech startups. My career developed through marketing, and I
specialized in the creation of High-Performance Teams, seeking virtuous
ways to achieve goals. I wrote a blog called \"Emotional Management,\"
where I reflected on the creation of compelling stories, engagement in
organizations, and market behavior from the perspective of emotions.



Influenced by authors such as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Kahneman, and Dan
Ariely, I developed an analytical framework to understand various
intellectual enigmas, which was very useful in my professional life.
These thinkers provided me with new perspectives on the adaptation and
survival of ideas, behavioral economics, and cognitive biases.



I write from a perspective enriched by my career, spanning psychology
and neuroscience to economics and philosophy, sociology, and history. My
only regret is not having pursued advanced studies in mathematics or
physics, as almost all current philosophical advances seem to stem from
these fields.</o:p>
