About us
Our mission is to help people understand how their minds work, and - as a result of that understanding - dramatically reduce their struggles and suffering.
Or, as we like to say,
"Understand your mind, live better."
We do this through our writing and teaching. Over the past 20 years, our free guide to mindfulness and meditation has been shared on the Internet over 750,000 times (thank you!), and we've published more than 100 articles on related topics.
We released our flagship work, "An owner's guide to the mind," in 2003. We update it often, and it's evolved a lot over the past 16 years. It has also received a lot of positive feedback and recognition, including being ranked #4 out of 25 in MobileMedia's personal development category (2019 update: it's now #3).
Some people call it a book (or an eBook). Other people call it a course (or a 21-day program).
But, more important than any of that, it's been called "life-changing" by those who implement it.

HISTORY AND EVOLUTION
"The T.A.D. Principle" was released almost 15 years ago, right after the turn of the millennium. The acronym "T.A.D." (now referred to simply as "tad") stands for:
> thoughts
> actions
> destiny
It included the meditationSHIFT supplement, but "tad" was more of a treatise on how to shape your life by addressing your thoughts and your actions.
Over the years, however, our philosophy and practices evolved.
We realized that the self-improvement industry provided resources that treated the symptoms that came with unhappiness, rather than addressing cause of unhappiness itself ("forced" positive thinking is the most prevalent self-help method - and, like most of the others, it simply doesn't work).
We took a different approach - our focus was on addressing the root cause, and providing a lasting solution.
By understanding your mind, the problems it creates in your life, and how to overcome them, you can find (or, more accurately, reveal) happiness, peace, and contentment. You learn to strengthen awareness (cultivate mindfulness), and break the cycle of blindly following the non-stop activity (thoughts, feelings, emotions, urges, et cetera) your mind produces.

meditationSHIFT represents the totality of our research, experience, writing, and teaching - from the concepts of "tad," to mindfulness and meditation...and everything in between.
Mindfulness, meditation, and insights for over a decade.
We have been talked about on numerous websites and media outlets. But, the people who have actually implemented what they learned from meditationSHIFT offer the best feedback on its effectiveness. Read testimonials on this site, and elsewhere around the Internet.
We write a lot, and our articles are featured here on our own site, on Medium, on Everyday-Mindfulness, and on other websites around the Internet. Find it all here - Words: an index of articles from meditationSHIFT.
