Today I am stoked to share what I believe is the greatest thing I’ve ever created, a labor of love and sweat and years of face-planting my way to a freer, deeper, easier way of living. My inaugural course, Life Not Wasted, is now open to the general public. It is designed to help you break free from the grip of contemporary addictions to cultivate a life so joyous, you won’t need an escape or distraction. You won’t even want one. This course distills a decade of insights as both a person in recovery and an innovator in the field, addressing what I call Modern Addiction and its Awakened Recovery. In today's world, addiction is best understood as a *spectrum* rather than a binary condition. Our contemporary culture is so filled with high-voltage temptations that virtually everyone falls somewhere along this continuum. So, in a very real way, Recovery would benefit everyone. This course is designed for those with mild-to-moderate dependencies, especially working professionals. If you’re looking to transform your relationship with substances like alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and Adderall—or behaviors such as binge eating, social media use, and obsessional work—LNW will enable you to create lasting change. You’ll learn the science of habit change and to understand the intelligence of your addiction, how to somatically access your body’s wisdom, harmonize your cravings and emotions, practice an accessible yet transformative approach to meditation, and tap into the deeper spiritual dimension of existence. Sounds fancy, but it’s really quite tactile. What’s cool is that this is not just a course, but a community. Our forum challenges us to focus on our goals, reduce screen time to avoid constant dopamine loops, and share our progress along the way—because everyone’s day would be better with less compulsive screen-diving. The LNW philosophy is that Modern Addiction can make you feel like you're squandering your existence, lulled into complacency by instant gratification and petty distraction. But with the proper support, you can instead learn to love how you naturally feel, enabling you to build an uninterrupted life of joy, peace, and vitality. The course website has all the information you need about it. Hit me up with any questions, and please share with loved ones. If you think it could help, I hope to see you there! lifenotwasted.org/
