Hi, I’m John Daugherty
I spent over 30 years in Christian ministry before coming to terms that my life was a wreck.
I was broken spiritually & physically, and I had lost my purpose in life.
Ancient Wisdom taught me to design & rebuild the life I needed from scratch.
I’ll share with you what I’ve learned and how you can do the same.
Your Life Transformation Framework
I’ve found that most people have a profound respect for ancient wisdom, but they don’t read it. The works of Ancient Wisdom have stood the test of time because they deal with the fundamental aspects of human nature.
But they present a problem because of the sheer volume of material we have. We truly have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to humanity’s greatest wisdom traditions. It can be overwhelming to see the countless volumes of literature and not know where to start.
I’ve spent a lifetime studying these works and applying the lessons they present. I’ve learned that there’s a critical path making its way through the minutia of material. This perennial wisdom is found across all wisdom traditions and it’s the key to designing and rebuilding the life you want.
The path follows this framework.
Spirituality
Connecting with the Divine is the beginning of your transformation. You determine what that means for you.
It doesn’t matter which faith tradition you come from, if any, or even if you borrow from them all.
Mind/Body Excellence
After establishing a connection with the spiritual life, you begin to incorporate your mind and body into your transformation.
You develop disciplines to change your mindset and nourish your body.
Your Place in the World
Ancient Wisdom teaches us that no life is complete until we learn to give to those around us.
This includes your family, friends, community, and the world at large.
