« If we were to bring together all the dreams of a given historical moment, we would see an exact picture of the spirit of that period emerge ».

G. W. Hegel

Pol is 21 and lives with his grandmother. He dreams of living in Miami and generating +10K a month. He attends personal development events, follows online coaches and invests in cryptocurrencies. He does visualization exercises based on the Law of Attraction. Pol doesn’t know what day or what time he’ll finally reach his goals and become the best version of himself: the only thing he knows is that one day, he will.
