Hello my friend and welcome to Zen @ Wall Street!
My name is Riccardo, I was born in Italy in 1984. I am a psychologist with a BA in Psychology from University of Parma, and MSc. in Work and Organisational Psychology from University of Padua. Additionally, I also earned an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business and I’m a PROSCI Change Management certified professional.
I’m a senior HR professional and I’ve worked in large corporations for over 15 years. I also joined my first yoga class when I was only nineteen, and for over 15 years I’ve practiced various forms of meditation, yoga and Qi Gong, learning from teachers all over the world.
As you can see I’m a mix of business and psychology. Corporate hustle and spirituality. Yin and Yang.
I’ve worked and lived in Europe, North America and Asia. I often travel for work (and for leisure) and I’ve visited over 40 countries.
In the past ten years, I’ve lived in New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore, where I’m currently residing. Although I love nature and peace, it seems that life prefers to push me right into the very heart of modern capitalism, in the hustle and bustle of financial capitals where millions of people are caught in the rat-race.
But I believe that everything happens for a reason and this brings us to Zen at Wall Street.
Zen represents your inner peace and higher wisdom. Wall Street represents the pinnacle of modern capitalism and its single-minded drive towards material attainment and outwardly success.
Zen @ Wall Street represents your capacity to bring peace and wisdom to every moment that you spend in this modern capitalistic life.
I believe we can have both: we can enjoy the gifts and the abundance of goods and comforts that capitalism has brought about, while keeping sight of the wisdom and teachings that ancient civilisations – often more connected with nature and spirit than ours – have bestowed upon us.
Zen @ Wall Street’s mission is to equip you with the tools to live a balanced, sane and happy life while moving across the fabrics of our social matrix and being an effective individual in a business-driven world. The ideas here proposed are often challenging and though-provoking, aimed at stripping you of your social programming so you can awaken to the true YOU and to a deeper level of reality.
With Love,
