I decided to write it after recognizing how attachment shapes relationships and self-perception, inspired by neuroscience and ancient philosophical dialogues, such as those of Plato. This book addresses a universal need for stronger bonds in a fragmented world. It helps clients by offering a science-backed framework to understand attachment styles, rooted in neurobiology, psychology, and philosophy, enabling them to build secure, meaningful relationships with partners, friends, and themselves.
The Path to Your Aspirational Self was born from my work with clients worldwide, where I noticed a common struggle to define and pursue a fulfilling personal ideal amid modern pressures. The premise is to develop a modern practice for self-actualization, grounded in ancient traditions (e.g., Stoic virtue ethics) and modern science (e.g., neuroplasticity). It guides individuals to create a dynamic, attainable ideal that evolves with them, blending empirical evidence with philosophical wisdom to foster purposeful growth in a fast-paced, often aimless world.
Platonic Spirituality is a deeply personal and professional exploration rooted in my decade-long journey of conversations, reflections, and studies, particularly inspired by Plato’s prayer in Laws. I decided to write it after noticing a recurring theme among my clients who identify as agnostic, atheistic, or deist yet feel a growing curiosity about spirituality as they confront mortality. This gap between their skepticism and a latent desire for meaning drove me to create a framework that bridges ancient wisdom with modern science.
After decades of observing how ancient virtue frameworks could address contemporary ethical confusion, fueled by my studies in neuroscience and classical philosophy like Plato and Stoicism. It offers clients by offering a robust, science-backed understanding of virtues (e.g., courage, justice, temperance, wisdom) as actionable qualities rooted in brain function and behavior. Using neurobiological insights into reward systems and decision-making, alongside ancient definitions, it provides practical exercises to cultivate virtue, enhancing ethical decision-making, self-discipline, and mental resilience in daily life.
