​Straightforward, clear, and effective - it's like earning an advanced degree in the workings of your mind.​

​We wrote "An owner's guide to the mind" to help you address the root cause of your struggles, and end the cycle of trying to cope and get by.

What are you struggling with?

Over the past 15 years, we've talked with tens of thousands of people around the world to find out what they struggle with.

Almost everything we were told can be reduced to the following:​

• stress;
• endless worry;
• extreme emotions;
• an inability to break bad habits;
• feelings of anxiety and depression;
• low self-confidence;
• sleep problems;
• tension headaches;
• neck and back pain;
• a lack of focus.

All of these struggles share a common root cause, and it can be described in a simple sentence:

​There's what's happening, and there's the stories our minds tell us about what's happening - the two rarely match.

The problem is, we spend the majority of our time trying to treat (or, cope with) all the struggles listed above. But, those struggles are only symptoms. And, they will continue to come back if you don't address the root cause.

The self-help industry thrives by exploiting this fact. And, collectively, we spend over $10 billion a year treating symptoms that always return.

It's like we're stuck on a treadmill, constantly trying to "fix" whatever comes our way. But, the struggles keep coming no matter what we do.

What if there was a way to step off that treadmill? A way to fix the root cause?

What if you could learn to become aware of your compulsive mind and non-stop thoughts, and stop letting the stories that constantly run through your head dictate "who you are" and "what you do?"

​How much better would life be?

"An owner's guide to the mind" will help you do exactly that. It's received a lot of recognition, including being ranked #3 out of 25 in MobileMedia's personal development category.

But, more important, it's been called "life-changing" by the people who read and implement it.

Nicole Morris, Manchester, England:

You helped me stop struggling with thoughts and emotions which, in turn, allowed me to reduce stress and stop being controlled by anxiety. Thank you.

​​About us.

​We've been teaching mindfulness and meditation for almost 20 years.

Since 2003, 

• thousands of people have taken our courses, 
• our free guide to mindfulness and meditation has been shared on the Internet over half a million times, and 
• we've published more than 100 articles on mindfulness, meditation, and related topics.

​We released "The T.A.D. Principle" over 15 years ago, and it has since evolved into meditationSHIFT and (currently) "An owner's guide to the mind."

​"An owner's guide to the mind"

It's been called "life-changing," and it combines concepts from Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (the precursor to cognitive behavior therapy) and Buddhist and Stoic philosophy. It's online and self-paced, and represents the culmination of almost two decades of research, writing, and working with people around the world.
