Self Authoring
I’ve been a big fan of Dr. Peterson’s work for a while now ever since I stumbled across him on YouTube. I’m still subscribed to his podcasts and strongly agree with the vast majority of his thoughts/perspectives.
It’s a part of my objective to help convince people to commit to living the most edifying life they can. Like most aspects of developing this business I’ve discovered somebody else is already doing something very similar and probably better than I would have delivered. The Self Authoring programs help you become ‘the master of your own fate’ and take responsibility for your life.
The Art of Manliness
AoM is a blog about growing up well, aimed at men and their unique challenges and interests. They explore all things manly — from the serious and philosophical to the practical and fun. They seek to uncover how to live with grandpa’s swagger, virtue, and know-how in the present age by wedding the best of the past to the best of the present. The end goal is to create a synergy of tradition and modernity that offers men a way forward and signposts on how to live an excellent, flourishing life.
