Lachlan Brown is an entrepreneur and co-founder of Brown Brothers Media, a digital publishing network reaching tens of millions of readers monthly. He holds a Graduate Diploma of Psychological Studies from Deakin University, though his real education came afterward: a warehouse job shifting TVs, a stretch of anxiety in his mid-twenties, and the slow discovery that studying the mind is not the same as learning how to live well. He started experimenting with Buddhist principles during breaks at the warehouse and eventually began writing about what he was learning. That writing became Hack Spirit, a widely read personal development site, and his book Hidden Secrets of Buddhism became a bestseller. His work breaks down complex ideas into frameworks people can apply immediately, whether they are navigating a career change, a difficult relationship, or the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Lachlan splits his time between Singapore and Saigon. He writes about high-performance routines, decision-making under pressure, digital innovation, and the intersection of Eastern philosophy with modern life. His perspective comes from having built things from scratch, failed at some of them, and learned that clarity comes from practice, not theory.

Most of us don’t think twice about when we shower—it’s just part of our routine. But psychology suggests that small daily habits can reflect deeper patterns of thought and personality. Take showering, for example. Some people swear by morning showers, saying it energizes them for the day. Others prefer ...Read More
I used to think there was something wrong with me. While my friends thrived in open-plan offices, I felt drained after an hour. While they loved cramming into shared apartments, I desperately craved my own space. While they seemed energized by constant social interaction, I found myself sneaking away to recharge ...Read More
Family dynamics are complicated. No matter how close—or how distant—your relatives are, every family has its unspoken rules, rivalries, and stories. And let’s be honest: families talk. Sometimes it’s harmless storytelling. Other times, it turns into gossip, judgment, or speculation about someone’s choices. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re ...Read More
