The Homo sapiens, technically the most advanced species on our planet. We can write books about ourselves — and, hack, we have. We have the ability to adapt to our environment like no other species (as far as we currently know) ever lived before. Our adaptability is our greatest gift, yet, simultaneously, our biggest pitfall. Many of us are trapped in monotonous loops, ill bodies and self-sabotaging beliefs.

How is this possible?

As Theodosius Dobzhansky would say: “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution”. We’re living in a modern world with a brain and body that still functions like that of our ancestors — the hunter-gatherer. We have unlimited access to clean water and food, safety, warmth, information, and we have countless ways to socially connect. For our ancestors, this must have been the unimaginable and, well, a pretty insane world. But it’s not enough.

So, what’s missing? 

The world we have created provides us in our most basic human needs, but the system fails to provide us true vitality, purpose and inner peace. Yet, I cease to believe it has to be that way! Living in the modern world does not mean we have to become a generation that feels stressed, overworked, unhealthy, addicted, uninspired, anxious and tired. Frankly, I believe the world is full of opportunities we’ve never ever had before. This is our time. You and I can break the mould. This is the greatest time to learn, to grow and to shine so that we can share it and uplift each other. What I believe is missing today is what our ancestors used to have and we don’t: a balanced lifestyle, a tribe and purpose. 

With bold honesty I want nothing rather than inviting you in — if you’re motivated — and create a grand ripple effect.
