I started Think Grow Prosper in 2014 during a period when I felt my life was falling apart. I began making simple Instagram posts whose sole purpose was to help give me perspective and enable me to move forward.
Soon, Think Grow Prosper attracted a worldwide audience of millions who wanted to realize their personal power, build healthy relationships, deal with challenges, improve their mindset, and find meaning.
Over time, however, my motivations and purpose for creating content changed and I began to embark on a new journey that would lead me to rebuilding my knowledge structure from scratch (like any good Enneagram 5 😜).
Over the next several years, I made it my (full-time, unpaid) job to educate myself more thoroughly about politics, psychology, philosophy, and any other subject that I thought might help me put together the pieces of the very large, very complicated puzzle we call reality.
It was a disorienting and chaotic period but also one of great discovery and growth. I examined and overturned many of my long-held beliefs and acquired new lenses through which to make sense of the world.
When my son was born in early 2019, my learning became even more focused and intense. Like an AI researcher, it dawned on me that I would be responsible for writing the first draft of a moral code that another agent would use to navigate the world.
My knowledge was no longer theoretical, it was practical. I needed to get clarity on the most important questions of all:
How do we live a good life? How can we even be sure what a good life is? On what solid foundation can we ground these answers?
Fortunately for humankind, I wasn’t the first person to consider these questions. Many brilliant minds had thoroughly addressed them over the course of the last 2,500 years or so. The problem was that many of the answers seemed to conflict with one another.
So I became obsessed with understanding conflicting values and how we might integrate them to create rich, harmonious lives, both individually and collectively.
As far as I can tell from my research, the best way to do this is to adopt an overarching life philosophy that accounts for the complexity and contradictions of the human condition. Such a philosophy must allow us to express our full range of values & needs in constructive ways.
This, in a nutshell, is what I’ve come to refer to as harmony and it’s the central idea around which much of my work now revolves and is the reason for why I put together this Immersive 10-Week Shadow Integration Coaching Program – to help you experience more harmony in your life through careful and guided exploration and integration of your shadow self.
