If you're unhappy with any area of your life, we can trace it down to one of these root causes.

Tips & Warnings:

• Each of these concepts is multi-layered and unbelievably deep. Fully integrating just one concept can take months or even years of active work. Each concept needs to be individually studied, contemplated, and applied. Reading them won't produce significant results.
• Not all of these concepts will be equally beneficial to you. Some will be much more meaningful than others based on your particular life experiences and current level of personal development. Work on the concepts that resonate most.
• There is no single right way. There are many ways to do personal development. This is not a comprehensive list, although it's pretty damn extensive.
• This is a live document, undergoing frequent and major revisions as I do more research.
