A Crisis of Mediocrity
 
We live in a time where mediocrity is praised, and excellence is punished.
 
Where followers are protected and (new) leaders are persecuted.

And we are in desperate need of new leaders.

We also live in a time with a higher incidence of dissatisfaction, meaninglessness, anxiety, and depression than ever before.

These two phenomena are directly correlated.

How much of your life do you spend distracting yourself from the fact that you’re not pursuing your dreams?
 
What are your favorite ways to distract yourself?
 
Social media? Alcohol? Sex? Drugs? Mindless anger?

Abraham Maslow, the father of humanistic psychology, said "If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all of the days of your life."

While living life an autopilot, as a follower, may seem convenient and attractive in the short term, it has detrimental long term effects on the mind and psyche.

This is where Humanistic Excellence comes in.


A New Way To Live

You can choose to go through life uninspired and unfulfilled, filling your days with distractions and struggling to fall asleep at night, dissatisfied with "the person you have become".
 
Or you can decide to actively engage with your life, choosing to live a life of intention and service.

This philosophy of Humanistic Excellence is based on my studies of world religions and ancient philosophy, as well as modern studies of the human experience in the fields of psychology, anthropology, and sociology.
 
The teachings that you will experience are not my own - they have been taught to me by Buddhist monks, Sikh masters, Christian clergy, Mayan shamans, Stoic philosophers, Western doctors, as well as many other beautiful people that I have encountered throughout my life.

This philosophy is an amalgamation of the inherent truths that have proven to be unbound by time, culture, or location. The lifestyle prescriptions that you will find are grounded in these truths.

Together, through the application and embodiment of this philosophy, we will leave this world better than we found it.
