The Most Transformative Process I've Ever Discovered For Crystal-Clear Clarity, Purpose & Direction In Life
Boundless Life
I'm Not a Stranger in My Neighborhood, but I Can Read You My Purpose
Lonely and social isolation is a world wide public health problem. My life book spans two pages everything i believe about love and friendships and relationships. At least twice per month, i'll volunteer for an hour in my local community. I will have a dinner party in my local communi at least once a quarter in which i invite eight people to dine and get to know better. Once per week, i will play at least one sport, like tennis or golf or cycling, or some other activity in which i am with friends,. not by myself or only with family.
It was called Lifebook
Although you can now go through the entire Lifebook process online, no matter where you live in the world, we did ours in Estonia - jam-packed into a room with over 20 other individuals who, like us, wanted to get ultimate clarity, direction and purpose for each aspect of their lives. I think of my Lifebook as me, in a book.
In other words, if I were to, God forbid, get hit by a bus tomorrow, someone would be able to hand my children my Lifebook and say, "Here. Here is your Dad, in a book. This is everything he stands for, believes in and values, and everything he would have wanted to teach to you about life.
My Lifebook now holds a precious place in the mantle above the fireplace in our home, and has also been integrated into our family trust. As you can imagine, I'm very proud and excited of this discovery, and I wanted to get the inventor of the Lifebook on the podcast: Jon Butcher - who Chicago Magazine dubbed as "the guy with the most perfect life".
Along with his wonderful wife Missy, Jon is a serial entrepreneur and the creators of Lifebook, an extraordinary system that has helped thousands transform their lives from ordinary to a living masterpiece. Jon and Missy have learned how to defy aging, experience long-lasting love, redefine education and build the perfect living environment (trust me, I've been to their home and it is a complete dream house).
Drawing from deeply personal experiences, Jon and Missy, along with their partner, Joe Polish, also founded the Artists For Addicts project. Its mission is to change the global conversation surrounding addiction from one of judgment to one of compassion.
During our discussion, you'll learn... -Why Jon and his wife Missy are moving to Hawaii after 30 years living in Chicago...8:25- Consistent with the purpose of the Lifebook: To find clarity in your "life vision".
- Hawaii has always been a special place for Jon and Missy, even after visiting nearly 100 countries.
- More leisure, less activity in day to day life.
- "Respectful disregard" for the status quo.
- Look at options, make a decision independent of what others may choose.
- Underwent a "vision quest" recently with his family.
- Historical examples of boys becoming men via a rite of passage
- Underwent Vision Quest with a Shaman in France.
