Back to the Stone Age

  • Summary

  • Back to the Stone Age is the idea that to achieve a fulfilling life one shall strive to become the best version of oneself through daily discipline and commitment to personal development and goals. A focal point is the disconnection from distractions/addictions to focus on the interior of oneself, the unique location where the ultimate truth of everyone resides. By undertaking this introspective journey one is then able to find purpose in life and have objectives to place full dedication to.

    What I'm speaking about is my journey, through consciousness and science.

    I hope you will find it inspiring.
