My book Conscious Accomplishment - How to use Personal Achievement For Spiritual Growth is now available! (audio book coming soon)
Some Background
I came to my consciousness journey as a hyper ambitious, optimizer hell-bent on architecting the perfect life to feel good.
When I turned 30 this life strategy stopped working and I realized that focusing on my consciousness was a more direct way to improve my life.
This realization was both enlightening and disorienting.
If I was serious about my personal evolution, shouldn’t I treat it with the same level of earnestness that I had in my external success quest?
Did this new orientation mean I needed to leave my tech startup, social life, and creative ambition that I had spent the last decade cultivating?
I wondered whether it was even possible to go all in on consciousness and fully engage in my external ambitions that had defined me for so long.
Fortunately, I met a wonderful teacher who guided me towards clarity.
The call wasn’t to abandon these circumstances, but to use all of them to see myself and reality clearly.
This was the beginning of my journey in learning the dance of Conscious Accomplishment.
What This Book Is About
Conscious Accomplishment is the book I wish I had when I started my journey.
It’s intended for people who are serious about pursuing their consciousness evolution while fully engaging in material reality to create the life and contribution they desire.
This book answers the following questions:
How do you earnestly pursue spiritual growth and worldly ambition at the same time?
What are the unique complexities this middle path creates and how do you move through them gracefully?
How does your spiritual evolution impact your capacity to accomplish and the way you do things?
Who it’s for:
Historically ambitious people who realize that focusing entirely on their external world is no longer working, but aren’t sure how consciousness and spirituality fit into their existing life
Anyone who desires an integrated approach to spirituality that empowers them to grow rapidly while meeting the demands of modernity
Spiritual aspirants who feel stuck and unable to reclaim their ambition and ability to be a creative actor in the world
Conscious-curious readers who want to understand the connection between all this “spiritual stuff” and their ability to make things happen
By reading it you’ll learn how to:
Transform everyday challenges into gateways for expanded awareness and personal freedom
Discover your authentic purpose and contribute to the world with ease
Open your heart to experience greater levels of unconditional well-being
Align your actions with life’s natural intelligence to achieve with joy and fluidity
Break through limiting beliefs that have hindered your potential
Access your intuitive wisdom to navigate decisions with greater clarity and confidence
Why I Wrote This Book
I never set out to write a book at this point in my life.
After a heart felt conversation at lunch with a friend in December 2022, I received internal guidance to begin writing something long form about my experience.
From this day on the book just wanted to come out of me. I wrote the book because I couldn’t not write it.
Although taking the plunge to write this was not an intellectual decision, I’m excited about what it stands for and believe it’s incredibly timely for where humanity is at right now.
We’ve lived in a culture that compartmentalizes spiritual growth and worldly achievement. This has conditioned many people to believe that they must choose between one or the other, instead of recognizing that these aspects of life can work together synergistically.
If we want to create a more beautiful world, we must evolve the consciousness that creates it. This ingredient isn’t a nice to have. It’s fundamental.
For most people, dropping out of life to pursue their consciousness evolution simply isn’t a realistic or attractive option.
A more compelling path forward for most of western culture is learning to integrate your personal evolution into your existing life. This can be done, and I’m living proof.
I believe Conscious Accomplishment is but one of many pathways that will emerge to support this much needed integration in our society.
