New here? Take the short route if you want something to try this week, or the full route for the whole argument. You can stop anywhere.

Quickstart

The short route About 15 minutes

  1. 01 Pick one practice Choose one small exercise that fits a question you already have. Afterwards: something concrete to try this week. 5 min
  2. 02 Read the essay it comes from Each practice links to its essay. Afterwards: you know why the exercise is built the way it is, and where it might not fit you. 8 min
  3. 03 Tell us what happened After you try it, tell us what changed and what didn’t. A practice that doesn’t help is useful to hear about too. Later

The full route About 20 minutes with one essay, 45 with all four

  1. 01 The thesis One question, not two: why we think human happiness and a sustainable planet run on one core layer, understanding, and how we intend to test it. Afterwards: you can say what we claim, and what would show we are wrong. 8 min
  2. 02 The drishti The architecture (what has to be understood) and the infrastructure (where it can be lived). Afterwards: you know the four things we think a good life needs. 2 min
  3. 03 First principles The few beliefs everything here rests on, and where we might be wrong. Afterwards: you know what to disagree with. 3 min
  4. 04 One essay per layer See the four layers applied to real questions. Pick one, or read all four. Afterwards: you have seen the ideas used on a real question.
