“Life is a shared project, and all of us benefit when we cooperate to ensure that there is less suffering, and more joy, in the world.”

How might things be different if we took this sentiment seriously?

What would happen if we made this sentiment the foundation of democracy?

Give this article a read if you’re curious about a better democratic future.

Thank you my friend. Agreed!

One of my favorite quotes for sure! He was a true teacher.

Sign in coffee shop that says all races religions countries of origin sexual identities genders abilities are welcome and safe here.

Friends—I don’t care about the bluster of blowhards and bullies. You belong, just as you are, and I’m glad you’re here.

The unity that suppresses community is not true unity. The oneness that denies diversity is not true oneness. The strength build on hate is not true strength.

Right????!!!!

Thank you my friend! Preorders, esp on Amazon, go a long ways toward determining whether or not bookstores stock a particular book. Really appreciate the support!

Thank you my friend! Hope that you are doing well.

Thanks! Hope you pre-order and then enjoy it—stay turned for updates about podcasts and events. The press designed the cover—I wanted something that echoed and evoked 18th century pamphlets. The symbols here look like common 18th century printing and evoke the stars on the flag—I think at least!

Thanks my friend! Hope you pre-order and like the book! Will keep everyone here posted about upcoming podcast and media appearances. Take good care!

Thanks! It seems like you’re doing really great work, too! I’ve taught about leadership and heroism in my classes on mindfulness and democracy. Glad to connect and excited to read your work!

Here’s the cover to my forthcoming book—what do you think, friends?
Amazing to work with @parallax.org

The book is for anyone who cares about democracy and wants to do what they can to promote both inner and outer freedom.

Will keep you posted about upcoming events!

Today is a good day to…

Take a mindful breath.
Feel the earth under your feet.
Be where you are.

As you breathe in, say to yourself, I know that I am breathing in.
As you breathe out, say to yourself, I know that I am breathing out.

Repeat as needed. And it will be needed repeatedly.

Thanks! Hope you preorder it and enjoy! Take good care my friend.

Thanks my friend! Hope you’re doing well!
