Welcome to a Journey into Personal, Societal, and Planetary Well-being

Being human has never been easy—and in today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, life challenges can feel overwhelming. That’s why this course series, based on the groundbreaking book It’s Not Easy to Be Human, was created: to make being human easier, wiser, and more fulfilling.

Drawing from decades of research, teaching, and lived experience, these courses offer a compassionate and practical pathway to upgrading human experience, conduct, and happiness at every level—personal, societal, and planetary.

Each course corresponds to a chapter from the book and invites you into deep reflection, evidence-based insights, and actionable practices designed to awaken and develop your full potential.

Through the lens of the Mindful Life Optimization (MLO) methodology, you’ll explore:

  • Why we often struggle with ourselves, others, and the systems we live in
  • How unconscious programming and social conditioning limit our choices and well-being
  • The tools and inner qualities required to create meaningful change—from the inside out
  • Sharing the journey with a community that cares for happiness and skilful living

Whether you are a seeker, educator, leader, or change-maker, this series will equip you with the skills to navigate life with greater awareness, resilience, and purpose—while contributing to a more compassionate and sustainable world.

Let’s make it easier to be human—together.
