The Human Being Journal

• Monthly guided format requires minimal time commitment for maximum benefit. Unlike daily journals, the monthly framework is not overwhelming, and can be seamlessly integrated into busy schedules.

• Unique inspirational resources and monthly challenges help you cultivate mindfulness and keeps you motivated throughout the year.

• Capture your life vision and focus in on your goals. Unlike other journals that focus on productivity or zero in on hacking gratefulness, this journal helps you reflect on your life holistically and challenges you to dive deeper to uncover your truth.

• Start any time. Whether it's the start of the new year, your birthday or another milestone, the journal is not dated so you choose when you want to dive in.

• Gives Back. A percentage of every journal sold goes to supporting global mental health organizations.

The journal was inspired by the founders’ life experiences and the spiritual teachings of Eckhart Tolle. It invites you to explore ten key elements that capture the full human being experience.

The human side speaks to what we do in our life – our outer selves and earthly identifiers of success such as our careers, health, relationships, community, travel and finances.

The being side refers to the true essence of who we are – timeless and formless. This includes our spirit, mind, creativity, passion and how we give back to the world. It is only when we bridge both worlds that we can unleash our full potential.
