You'll get a simple and powerful conceptual model that helps you understand what you're really looking for when you're looking for meaning and purpose.
Simple and powerful tools to help you find purpose
You'll get, and practice using, some key tools to help you figure out what really matters.

Self-transformation
In antiquity, "the teaching and training of philosophy were intended not simply to develop the intelligence, but to transform all aspects of being - intellect, imagination, sensibility, and will."
This sometimes happens.
