You’ll get a space for going deep on what’s most important to you facilitated by someone who’s an attentive listener, a curious soul, and genuinely cares about your flourishing. Having such a space while getting the undivided attention of another thoughtful and capable person is effective. Two minds tend to be better than one.

I feel a commitment to both who you are now and who you are capable of being. Most of the time, you’ll feel my warmth and curiosity about what you want to work on right now. Other times, I’ll use my expertise and outside view to suggest different directions. Collaboratively balancing these two commitments is difficult and that’s why we’ll co-create a feedback culture.

I’ve spent 7 years studying, co-creating, and “living” effective altruism – doing the most good via impartial altruism and truth-seeking. I compassionately support you in expanding your circle of morality and contribution to the world while caring for yourself. Additionally, I support you in seeking truth (e.g., by cultivating a Scout Mindset) while honing and trusting your intuitions and fueling your passions.

Inspired by my mentor, Paul Rohde, I bring you both the theory and practice of i) positive psychology (the science and practice of human flourishing), ii) behavioral science (data-driven psychology with a focus on creating concrete behavioral change), and iii) wisdom from Stoicism and, especially, secular Buddhism.

 I recognize that we humans are fascinatingly complex systems with different parts that all interact with each other. Maybe your perceived pain point is “I’m not productive enough” but the actual problem is that you’ve lost touch with your professional purpose, sleeping suboptimally, or your schedule is all over the place, and lack good habits.

You almost certainly have great ideas, insights, and theories about how you want yourself and the world to be. That’s great (high-five ) and will provide some value! However, implementation and consistency will enable you to truly optimize for your long-term flourishing. We’ll take substantial care to translate the things we work on into high-quality yet pragmatic implementations and follow up on them. Moving you from theory to practice.
