I take very seriously finding as many ways as possible to enlighten the public about happiness, purpose and meaning in everyday life. To do this I have created creative ways to use the media. Some of the ways are conventional, such as a newsletter and many radio shows over the years.

My films have won or placed over 200 times, and I've created a number of books, many of which have become bestsellers.

Some tools were less conventional, such as the 3 zoom dramas I created when the pandemic ruled out taking the same three scripts and producing 3 short films.

I have also reached out to the world with positive psychology teachings via podcasts. My pet project, The Selfie Project, often involves podcasts where young people are given a chance to share their ideas, thoughts, worries, desires, and solutions with experts, teachers, and many others.

I sincerely hope you find something here that will help you find happiness, purpose and meaning.
