You don’t have to choose between your career and your inner life.
I sell apartments in Manhattan and I teach Tibetan Buddhist meditation. For years I kept those in separate boxes, hustle by day and practice in private. Then it got hard to ignore that the practice was the reason the hustle worked at all. So now I teach it to people living the same kind of life. Plain English, real methods, and you don’t have to move to a cave.
It all looks fine from the outside.
You’re good at your job. You’ve tried the apps, and you got ten minutes of calm that lasted until the second email. That’s not a you problem. The tools that actually move the mind are about 2,500 years old and most of them never made it into an app.
What people come to me with
- Awake at 1am, running the deal again
- At dinner with the family, but not really
- Snapping at the kids over nothing
- The same fight with a different person
- Successful on paper and kind of flat about it
What they want more of
- A mind that stays in the room
- Hearing bad news without it running the whole day
- A little warning before they blow up
- Some actual sleep
- The feeling that this is their life, and they’re in it
Three ways to work with me
The Year’s End Reset
24 days of guided meditation in your inbox, starting December 1. Fifteen to thirty minutes each morning, five live calls, and a group of people doing it with you.
For your team
A one hour session, a four week team Reset, or a standing weekly sit. In your office or on Zoom. No chanting, and nobody has to believe anything.
Private study
Twelve weeks, one on one, in English or Spanish. I take a few people at a time, and we start with a conversation to see if it fits.
“The way that he shares powerful philosophical ideas in a practical way (with the occasional F bomb) keeps things fun and genuinely transformative.”
Ethan Atteo, student
The weekly email
One a week. Usually something I got wrong, and what the practice did about it. It’s free and you can leave whenever.
15% of what comes in here goes to Three Jewels, the dharma center where I study and teach. If money is the only thing stopping you, write to me.
This is education in contemplative practice. It isn’t therapy or medical care.
