Hope you enjoy! ► OPTIMIZE: https://optimize.me/​ (← Get Free Stuff + Free 2-Week Trial!) ► OPTIMIZE COACH: https://optimize.me/coach​ (← Join 2,000+ Masters from 70+ Countries!) Musonius Rufus was one of the four great Roman Stoics. In fact, he was known as the "Roman Socrates." To put him in historical context with the other three great Roman Stoics: He was born in AD 30, about 34 years after Seneca. He taught Epictetus (who was born in AD 55). Epictetus died in 135 but taught the guys who taught the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (who was born in AD 121) his Stoic philosophy—which is why Aurelius refers to him more than any other teacher in Meditations. Big Ideas we explore include: Theory vs. Practice (which is more important?), practicing philosophy (is where it's at!), vice vs. exile (free yourself from vice!), food (it's the medicine of life), and stoic love advice (competing in kindness).

Here are 5 of my favorite Big Ideas from Future Visions by Abraham Maslow. Hope you enjoy! As you know if you've been following along, I love Abraham Maslow and feel a deep kinship to him and his work. We have featured two of the books he published during his lifetime: Toward a Psychology of Being and Motivation and Personality. Although this book has only ONE review on Amazon and I could only buy a used copy of it, I knew I'd love it. And, although I had already been deeply influenced by Maslow and his thinking, there was something about reading his unpublished essays and journal thoughts that made me feel that much more connected to this great man. Big Ideas we explore include Maslow's thoughts on the "eupsychian ideal" (aka: the "eudaemonic ideal"!), the psychology of happiness (eudaimonology!!), Stoic philosophy (Maslow was a fan), vicious cultural influences (Maslow was NOT a fan!), and the Jonah Complex (ANSWER YOUR HEROIC CALL, already!!).

Here are 5 of my favorite Big Ideas from Gratitude Works! by Robert Emmons, Ph.D.. Hope you enjoy! I'm grateful for Robert Emmons. He's dedicated the last three decades of his life to understanding the science of how to boost our well-being. In the process, he's conducted ground-breaking research on the power of gratitude. In fact, he's basically THE researcher we have to thank for understanding *just* how powerful gratitude journaling is. (He's also served as editor-in-chief of The Journal of Positive Psychology.) I consider myself a reasonably grateful guy but this book has opened my eyes to JUST how powerful gratitude is. And, to just how important it is to DELIBERATELY PRACTICE it. Big Ideas we explore include: How to give yourself a 25% (!!!) boost in happiness, the top gratitude practices, the #1 obstacle to gratitude (and its remedy), and using challenges for grateful fuel!

We'll talk about how to go Deep, discover our idiosyncratic rhythms and track our awesome via our Carpe Diem journal. Whether you're a startup CEO or a stay-at-home supermom, we'll be creating a ton of flow via deliberate, intentional, deep and meaningful work.

With our AM and PM Bookends coming together, we're ready to Optimize our Energy throughout the day. Too many of us go through our days constantly "on" and, as a result, feeling a sense of what we call "enervated anxiety" (a close relative of burnout and bleh). To help the cause, we'll teach you how to create a deep sense of "Energized Tranquility" by systematically creating rhythms to our days that enable us to show up as our best selves more and more consistently throughout the day and over the years and decades ahead. (Boom!)

With a solid PM Bookend installed, we're ready to show up like a Boss in the morning—waking up feeling energized and ready to do some of our most important Big 3 goodness BEFORE we enter the world of inputs. We'll begin installing a solid AM protocol, including a meditation and Carpe Diem telos practice and, if you can swing it with your idiosyncratic constraints, some Deep Work, Deep Energy, and Deep Love time blocks.

Now that we know TODAY'S the Day (!!!), it's time to start at the beginning of our Optimal day—which just so happens to be the END of the prior day. As such, we're going to start architecting our Masterpiece Day with a solid Shutdown Complete and Digital Sunset protocol. We'll get better at turning our brains off so we can get to bed earlier and wake up (without an alarm?) nice and early feeling all bright and shiny. (Note: Optimizers consistently tell us THIS session changes lives.)

If we're serious about moving from Theory to Practice to Mastery then we need to know one very (!) important fact: TODAY'S the Day!! In this session, we'll look at the big picture, meet the reporter who's always following you around, learn about the importance of knowing and EXECUTING our protocol. (Know this: the worse we feel, the MORE committed we need to be to executing our protocol!) We'll also take a v1 pass at our Masterpiece Day template.
