About

I’ve done a lot and I’ve also sat on my ass meditating for years. I was a Taoist monk for four years and decided my place was back here in the real world where I feel I can make a bigger impact. I’m a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and a Qi Gong master who’s studied Kung Fu and Tai Chi for decades. I climb big mountains and ski down them. I have two kids and a delightful wife and am happy to be a family man. I’m the founder of Well.Org and Urban Monk Productions, the producer of the movies “Vitality”,  “Origins” and “Prosperity.” I’ve also produced the series “Interconnected” and “Gateway to Health” with several others coming. My New York Times Best Selling book, The Urban Monk, kicks ass and I had a blast writing it. It’s in over 30 languages and keeps spreading. 

My newest books, “The Art of Stopping Time” and “Inner Alchemy” are designed to help you find more time, energy, and peace in your life. It’s written for you. No fluff. Just actionable things to help right now.

The Urban Monk is not about me. It’s about you. I’m here to teach you how to up your energy, take back your time, and step into your passion. The book is all about that. I’m all about that.

I’m not a guru. Don’t follow me. Take some tips and step into your own greatness. The world needs YOU- not more gurus. We need more leaders and not followers. I’m here to help you step into that. I’ve got your back. Now its time to learn some skills and commit to being awesome.NYT
