My name is Steven. I'm a successful software engineer and best selling author. But I feel deeply unfulfilled. I think I'm meant for more than making banks richer.
But I don't know what my purpose is, or how I can help anyone. I don't know what God wants from me, and he won't tell me. So I'm trying to figure it out my own way.
That's why I do public surveys in Chicago on Sundays, on the corner of State and Randolph, from Noon to 6. Every week, I write new articles based on the experiences.
I choose topics I'm trying to understand better about myself, and which seem to be common conundrums. Love, despair, hope, anxiety, happiness, trauma, destiny.
As a Catholic, I look at these topics through that lens. But ancient theologians didn't anticipate a world with OF, SSRIs, and algorithms. And modern theologians have lost the plot. Maybe together we can find answers.
So by late 2026, I plan to publish a book on all this.
