An email every Tuesday that won't fix your life.
But might help you see it a bit more clearly.
Every Tuesday morning, I send one essay to people who've tried everything in self-help and are ready for something that doesn't involve vision boards or 5 AM routines.
What you'll get:
- One essay every Tuesday. Not twelve. One.
- Practical spirituality without the woo-woo
- Self-help for people who've given up on self-help
- Occasional profanity. Frequent honesty.
- Zero "manifest your best life" nonsense
What you won't get:
- Spam. Ever.
- Upsells every other paragraph
- Promises I can't keep
- That hollow feeling you get after reading generic advice
I've spent 30 years in meditation practice, including 7 in what turned out to be a cult. I've learned some things. A few of them might even be useful.
The rest? Well. Consider this your invitation to learn from my mistakes instead of making your own.
(Though you'll probably make your own anyway. I did. Still do.)
