The Book

Journey to Self-Discovery

This book began as a private diary. I never intended to publish it.

Over 28½ days at a Virginia ashram, I wrote each night — sometimes exhausted, sometimes grieving, sometimes unexpectedly open. I wrote without editing myself. Without polishing the experience.

What remains is not a wellness guide. It is a real-time record of a man paying attention to his life.

  • Listen — one-minute reflections, read aloud.
  • Speaking — talks and conversations on building with intention.
  • Practice — a twenty-second daily practice.
