The Power of Community
Human Beings are Pack Animals (want to join mine?)
There’s something every esoteric tradition, world religion, sports fandom, and wellbeing researcher knows people need to be well: community.
I could tell you frameworks of community that make human beings more resilient. Could freak you out by talking about the loneliness epidemic, it’s effects on mental health, and the statistics of our disconnection.
But, to be honest, I think most of us already know. We know we need one another to be well - the struggle is finding like-minded community in our day to day lives & in a way that both fits and feels good.
Your invitation to a new community:
I have been wildly fortunate to know incredible, brilliant people who are dedicated to fostering wellbeing in themselves and others. Clients, collaborators, friends, and fans that want to do genuine good in the world (many of you on this Substack!)
Which is why I’m excited to tell you about a new community:
What’s The Wellbeing Revolution?
The Wellbeing Revolution is a new, digital community for purpose-driven, high-achievers who are looking to build a lifestyle of wellbeing.
Why this? Why now?
Why not!?
But seriously… let me be grand and direct for a moment…
With growing global unrest, uncertainty in the coming year, and general social discord more and more people are telling me they’re anxious and uncomfortable. They feel stuck. Our general social models aren’t working for us… so what do we do?!
At the same time, & if you read this substack you probably already know:
Well-being = better performance and problem solving.
Well-being makes us better collaborators, friends, partners, parents, and leaders.
This community is founded on one foundational premise:
We have to be well if we’re going to fix anything.
We’ll get farther and do better if we build well-being together.
Ok, the Nuts & Bolts:
Who is this for?
Individuals who are seeing a community to do self work with.
People who believe wellbeing is fundamental to human progress.
Smart, fun, awesome folks who know in their soul well-being should be a human right. They want to figure it out for themselves so they can help others through their personal missions - whatever that means to each individual (including those still searching for what that mission is).
When does it launch?
The official community launch event is Jan 3rd (full details inside), but in the meantime you can join the community, get set up, & connect with members.
(The launch event will only be for community members - so you have to join to come!)
What does it cost?
The community, the kickoff party, January mini-course, and a unique start of the year challenge are all free! In the future we’ll be offering paid community courses, discounts, early sign ups on upcoming live IRL events.
A note from my heart
2 years ago (almost to the day) I started this Substack because I wanted to reach more people with my work. My hope at the time was a community that would foster wellbeing. While I’m proud of what was produced here, it didn’t quite rise to what I’d hoped. For about a year I’ve been noodling on what to do next.
I feel with all my heart The Wellbeing Revolution is it.
If you are tired of the misinformation of social media and the routine disappointment with those platforms. If you want a place you can share your challenges, ideas, and questions. If you’re curious about what a well-being lifestyle means for you:
Give this a go with me.
The Wellbeing Revolution is a chance to make it whatever we want it to be.
I hope I’ll see you there.
All my best & be well,
