Introduction

library of knowledge

When I started Essays for Growth, my vision was clear: create a collection of written works outlining the principles for creating success in health, relationships, career, finance, and more.

 

That is precisely what you’ll find – a catalogue of in-depth instruction manuals for how to master different areas of your life. These essays outline the principles required to succeed and the practical action steps needed to integrate the teachings. If you take what you learn in these essays and put it into practice, you will radically transform your life.

The three pillars

To ensure the quality of my teachings, I adhere to three principles:

 

  1. I conduct thorough research, integrating multiple perspectives, teachers, and schools of thought.
  2. All of my teachings are rooted in direct experience. Everything presented to you has been rigorously field-tested.
  3. All advice is rooted in successful implementation. Anything I share has been successfully applied in my own life to generate desired results. If I have not accomplished it, I will not teach it.
The growth path
Bottom line: These essays are not armchair philosophy. These teachings are field-tested, pragmatic, and effective. They represent the best of what I’ve learned over my seven-year journey to discover and implement the most effective principles for building a profound life. Now, through Essays for Growth, I intend to share these principles with you.
 
If you’re new to this work, start with The Essentials. These essays help you lay the foundation and will inform your first steps. Afterwards, check out Psychology, as a proper understanding of the mind is necessary to avoid many traps and pitfalls in this work. Once you understand the basics, choose whichever domain you’re interested in mastering. The long-term vision is to produce excellence in all domains. Achieving this level of mastery will not happen in a month or even a year. Take a decades-long time horizon, and know there are great rewards along the way.

Philosophy

Philosophy

The philosophy that drives my work is simple:

 

Life consists of domains. To live well, producing excellence in each domain is imperative. We accomplish this by studying teachers, philosophies, and schools of thought within each field, identifying the teachings and principles that govern success, and consistently implementing these to integrate them into our being. As we internalize one teaching after the next, we gradually shape ourselves into someone capable of producing excellence in all areas of life.

 

At Essays for Growth, you will find the knowledge, wisdom, tools, and principles which govern success in these domains. You will also find exercises and assignments which enable you to take the theory and put it into practice, enabling integration of the material.

Remember: the study of theory without implementation is mental masturbation. Knowledge is only power if you use it.

 

Before you begin, make a 100% commitment to doing the exercises prescribed in each essay. Doing so will be the deciding factor in your success.
