Isn't it a bit odd that we went from science to math to history but somehow missed the class on how to live? For some wacky reason optimal living 101 didn't make the schedule. But imagine if that class did exist and we got to study everything from old school philosophy, mysticism and positive psychology to nutrition, health and fitness, creativity and modern self development. And our teachers included everyone from old school philosopher like Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Emerson, Nietzsche and Buddha to modern sages like Joseph Campbell, Paulo Coelho, Dan Millman, Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer. Plus the world's leading positive psychologists like Sonia Lieborsky, Tal Ben Shahar and Martin Seligman who are scientifically establishing how we can live with more happiness, meaning and mojo. Imagine these incredible teachers sharing their wisdom on how to live more authentic success loving and happy lives. How cool would that be? Well, think of this book as a philosopher's notes on that awesome class. From spiritual farts and one one year old ewes to the Tolle Trap and Blissoplein, you'll have fun getting your wisdom on in this inspiring, playful, wise and practical little book as I share 100 of my favorite big ideas on how to create a life brimming with a radiant enthusiasm only discovered when we align with the fundament of optimal living.
