Dear Friend,

I’ve been dreaming of this day for over 7 years now…

And, finally, the day is here!

You see, back in 2008 I quit my job as Wellness Director in a treatment center…

And embarked on a journey as a spiritual teacher.

Since then, I’ve led countless ā€œSatsangā€ talks.

(Many under the full moon here in Boynton Beach, Florida. Maybe you were here with me?)

And I’ve mentored hundreds of students.

It was not an ā€œeasyā€ path.

But it was an incredibly fulfilling one.

Throughout the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to help people reduce their depression and anxiety…

Ā 

The School for Happiness

I’ve helped people improve their relationships with their parents… their children… their coworkers…

And I’ve helped people find clarity. And to make meaningful change in their lives.

However, the dream has always been…

How can I help raise the consciousness of humanity and help more people?

At no time has this been truer than now…

State of the World
(Step One…)

As I’m sure you’ve noticed…

All is not well here in America.

Or, in the world, for that matter!

You can feel the tension in the air…

The animosity.

Division.

Hatred.

For all those that don’t share the same ideals.

For all those who aren’t on the same ā€œside.ā€

But I’m not here today to get political.

I’m here to get personal…

The School for Happiness

You see, if we want to change anything in the world, the first step is to change ourselves…

Listen…

I don’t know where I was before I came to this world.

And I don’t know where I’ll go after.

But I do know this…

If we’re here now, we might as well be happy, right?

Right!

What could be simpler and more obvious?

Why, then, are so few of us happy?

Why are depression rates at all-time highs?

Why are so many people lonely?

While many factors come into play…

At the core, I believe it’s because most of us were simply never taught to be happy.

It’s true!

Did You Learn this in School?

Look.

I don’t know about you…

But I sure as heck never got a ā€œclassā€ on happiness in school.

In high school, it was all about survival!

Wouldn’t it have been nice if someone had taught us how to be happy?

If someone taught how to see things clearly…

Ā 

The School for Happiness

Had given you tools in order to help empower yourself?

I never got those tools.

And, as a result, my life was hard.

Harder than it needed to be, at least.

It took me years of exploration and self-introspection to finally find the ā€œsecretā€ behind happiness.

And not just temporary happiness—the kind you might have gotten going out at the bar with friends…

But lasting happiness.

The kind you can create yourself.

Actively.

And every single day.

Here’s what I learned…

The List that
Can Change Your Life!

It sounds simple, but…

Did you know a single list can change your life?

Back in 2009, the New England Journal of Medicine found that, by implementing a simple checklist…

The rates of in-hospital deaths were cut almost by half.

HALF!

The School for Happiness

Just think…

A simple checklist can (and does) SAVE lives!

Why?

Because lists work.

Think about it…

Would you ever step on a plane if you knew the pilot didn’t follow a checklist?

If he or she wasn’t double (or triple!) checking things?

Of course not!

Well, at least I know I wouldn’t!

Why then, do most of us go through our lives not following a list?

A list that can lead to a new and different destination…

A destination of joy.

Ā 

My Personal ā€œZen Listā€
(The Strangest Fact You’ve Ever Heard…)

Ā 

Here’s a strange fact.

Possibly the strangest fact you’ve ever heard, but…

Happiness is a SKILL.

It might sound funny, but you have to practice being happy!

It doesn’t come easy.

You see, years ago I came out of high school in a tailspin.

The School for Happiness

I was confused.

Angry.

And every new job I tried was the same shade of grey.

In short, my life ā€œsuckedā€!

Eventually I was diagnosed with dysthymia, which is a mild form of depression.

And while I was given meds to treat the illness, for me, it just didn’t work.

And I stayed in the same funk.

What did work?

Exercise.

Eating better.

Things we all know we should be doing. But few of us do as regularly as we should.

However, it wasn’t just this…

In total, I discovered 8 simple steps that…

When followed…

Would almost guarantee I felt better.

I call this the ā€œZen List.ā€

And it’s been the foundation of my teaching for years now.

Ā 

Does it Work?

Now, you might be wondering…

Can something as simple as the ā€œZen Listā€ work?

The School for Happiness

While I can say with 100% certainty it’s worked for me—It’s added such color and vitality to my life that it’s now become the FOUNDATION for how I start my days.

Who cares about me!

Ā Ā  >> The real question is…

Ā  Is this something repeatable that can (and does) work consistently for others?

Based on the hundreds of students I’ve shared this with…

And how much it’s changed their lives and how they swear by it…

I believe the answer is a resounding…

Yes!

Take a look.

Here’s a short sample of what some of my students have had to say about the Zen List and my Zen List-based teachings...

Ā 

ā€œSaved me from Myselfā€

Ā 

Here’s what John Ackermann, a commercial real estate professional from Queens, New York, had to say:

Everyday living is better as I no longer suffer mentally.

I was in a great deal of mental pain as a result of my miserable ā€œthought lifeā€.Ā  My thoughts were hijacking me. I just automatically ā€œhopped on the busā€ and was in for the ride, wherever it went…

The School for Happiness

I learned that ā€œI the beingā€ am separate from my thoughts. And I am free to change the ā€œthought channel.ā€Ā 

My experience with Tom in many ways saved me from myself. You can find peace within Tom’s teachings.

Ā 

ā€œA Life-Changing Pathā€

Ā 

Here’s David A. Washabaugh from Delray Beach, Florida:

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how your coaching has created a life changing path for me. The path is the key—with your loving, very effective and systematic methods the path is now clear.

I am now aware what my purpose is. And awareness has allowed me to use my brain as a tool instead of a tape player, playing the same old tune over and over.

My work and life is now peaceful, meaningful and joyful.

Many blessings.

Thank you David!

ā€œMy Anxiety Went from 10 to 2ā€

And here’s a video from Isabel Rayna sharing her story following a very stressful surgery…

ā€œMy Anxiety is Now Non-Existentā€

Ā 

And another video. This one from my student Jordan Frances:

The School for Happiness

Thanks Jordan!

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to receive tons of messages like this.

Even several cards and notes! (See below.)

This is so special to me.

And it’s the whole reason I’ve dedicated my life to helping others.

Because, to me, helping others is the source of endless joy.

As someone once told me, if you’ve been blessed be a blessing to others.

The School for Happiness

Introducing ā€œThe Zen Listā€ Course

Ā 

Because of the profound impact the Zen List has had on me…

And on countless others…

I’ve decided to finally bring these teachings to a wider audience.

That’s why I’ve thrilled—today—to officially launch my ā€œSchool for Happinessā€ and my first online course called…

The Zen List: The List that Can Change Your Life.

The School for Happiness

Inside this comprehensive course I lay out, step-by-step, the 8 secrets to lasting happiness that I’ve discovered.

Each lesson has its own dedicated module where I teach you (on video) about:

  • The importance of each part of the Zen List
  • How to do it yourself
  • And I give the first small step (so it’s easy to actually start changing your life vs. staying stuck).

If you’ve been struggling of late…

Or just simply haven’t been feeling quite as good as you know you can…

Give this a shot.

It’s been my experience that this simple routine can help solve 90 to 95% of problems most people face.

I also include an actual printable Zen List (and digital version too) so you can ā€œcheck offā€ things as you do them.

Simple!

This is Crucial
⇣

As I mentioned earlier, two key elements of the Zen List are exercise and eating.

Meditation is also a crucial part of it.

However, the thing to know here is that…

This most likely is NOT mediation as you might have done it before…

The School for Happiness

The real purpose of meditation (as I see it) is very different from how it’s taught by 99% of teachers out there.

For example…

Have you ever been taught meditation is all about ā€œclearing the mindā€ or trying to ā€œsit stillā€?

No!

While I’ll never say there is any ā€œbadā€ meditation.

(Any attempt to quiet your mind and slow down in this ever fast-paced world is always a good thing!)

To me, meditation serves ONE single and key purpose.

Do you know what that is?

The Sacred Sequence

Now, I’m not going to go over all the 8 parts of The Zen List with you here in detail.

That’s why I created this course.

I designed it as an 8-week course that builds one new habit on top of another.

The School for Happiness

It was also beautifully filmed by a student of mine, an award-winning filmmaker.

I can’t wait for you to check it out!

As one of my students told me…

It’s almost like a ā€œsacred sequence.ā€

But, of course, there is nothing religious or dogmatic about this practice.

It was designed with one purpose in mind:

To make you feel better. Calmer. And happier. It should also greatly ā€œre-energizeā€ you and drastically reduce any anxiety or stress you’ve been feeling.

And, of course…

Please remember that you are your own guru.

If anything in The Zen List doesn’t work for you, simply toss it out!

But here’s my firm belief…

I believe that if you try this out… and carry out the Zen List in good faith and with enthusiasm…

Your life WILL change.

That’s my personal guarantee to you.

In fact, my guess is that you won’t even recognize yourself two to three months from now.

Mark This Date Down!

Alright. Now here’s the thing…

While I recorded this course, and you are free to technically go through it at your own pace…

I’ve decided to do something special for this launch…

The School for Happiness

On May 27, I am starting a ā€œLIVEā€ cohort.

That means…

On Wednesday May 27, 2026 (I’ll communicate the time and all the details once you’ve registered) I will host a special LIVE video session to answer all the questions you have on the first Zen List item…

Then…

Each week (for a full 8 weeks) I’ll host another live call to answer all your questions for that week’s Zen List.

Make sense?

My only other question for you now is…

Are you interested!? 😊

Ā 

How to Join the LIVE Cohort

So, here’s how to join me.

Actually, there are two ways. And I’ll take a minute to explain each below…

The First Way

The first way to join is to simply sign up for just this Zen List LIVE session.

This will give you access to the full online Zen List course…

The 8 live sessions…

As well as the comprehensive 66-page Zen List Companion Guide I created.

This is a great option.

The School for Happiness

While one-on-one mentoring packages with me now typically start at $12,000…

Here you get 8 live sessions…

Forever access to the digital course….

The companion guide…

As well as an official Certificate of Completion…

For $499.

If that’s the option you’d like, simply click here to get started.

Or…

Keep reading here for the second option, which (in my opinion!) is much betteršŸ˜Šā€¦

First though, a small detour…

The ā€œ15 Million Missionā€

I’ll let you in on a little secret…

I’d like to enlist your ā€œhelp.ā€

Maybe it’s a crazy vision but I’d like to eventually help transform the lives of 15 million people…

Why this number?

Because it’s estimated the average person knows 600 people…

So that means the reach of 15 million people could be over 8 billion people…

The whole of humanity!

Pretty crazy, right!?

Will we get there?

The School for Happiness

I don’t know. And I certainly won’t be ā€œdisappointedā€ if this goal is not reached.

However, in life you have to dream a bit, don’t you?

Look. Here’s the fact:

Every life matters.

I just want to help as many people as I can.

Because the more we—you and me—show up every day as BEACONS of hope and happiness…

Show up as examples to those around us…

The better the world will be.

Together I believe we can truly make a difference.

Which leads me to…

Option 2
(My Strong Recommendation!)

Given what I’ve just stated above, here’s what I decided to do.

Instead of just a ā€œone-offā€ course…

In the true spirit of The School for Happiness…

I’ve decided to create a yearly ā€œfellowshipā€ program for continual learning that I call…

The Radiant Life Community

What is the Radiant Life Community?

Well, as its name implies, first up…

This is a community.

It is said we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with…

The School for Happiness

Do you have positive people around you in your life?

People who support you and who are striving for the same things?

Now you do!

While this community may start up small at first as we build up, my vision is for us to build a strong positive channel of conscious people together…
