Mission

The statistics are simply staggering. The past few decades have seen a gut-wrenching escalation in depression, anxiety, suicide, and addiction. One recent survey even suggested that young adults in America feel so stressed most days, they don’t feel they can function. How did we become so demoralized? What happened to our motivation and resilience?

As a retired Professor Emeritus of Psychology and a former therapist with over forty years of clinical experience, I have struggled with these issues in teaching graduate and undergraduate classes and in working with patients in treatment. My teaching and writing have brought me to a clear awareness of perhaps the most significant scientific discovery of the past fifty years, a breakthrough which will undoubtedly impact our health, our emotional well-being, and our very longevity. My mission is to share this scientific discovery with you to empower you in the pursuit of your individual life goals and community priorities.

On this site, I offer educational seminars and other informational resources focusing on the core source of motivation, resilience, and healing rooted in our inherent capacities as human beings. This is not a rendition of superficial affirmations to make one feel better. Rather, it is a grasping of the powerful, soul-stirring reality of self-transcendence. Please explore the site and feel free to contact me to discuss your thoughts or to arrange for a seminar at your educational, religious, or business setting.
