When you think of a philosopher, the image of a long, white beard, dusty books and big words may come to mind. But in a day and age of 140 character attention spans, wisdom’s got to come in a catchier package for most of us to “get it.”
That’s why Brian Johnson dishes up the wisdom of ages and sages in manageable morsels. He won’t overwhelm you with big words or thick books, and he’s proven you don’t have to perch on a mountain top or get old like stone before you figure out what Life is all about.
Just follow your grunt, burn your toast, try to control your spiritual forts and you’ll be well on your way to a life of happiness, passion and authenticity. Joining the women of WISH for a crash course in optimal living is the bald, the bold, the brilliant, Brian Johnson–philosopher extraordinaire!
Here are some of the things Brian covers in this call:
The 10 principles of optimal living and how they work together.
When he first caught a glimpse of this inner philosopher waiting to burst forth.
The keys to fostering an attitude of optimism. (Practical stuff, like tools you can actually use!)
The difference between following intrinsic goals and extrinsic goals–what does this mean and what is the pursuit of these things doing to us?
His bedtime ritual with his wife that has a powerful impact on their relationship.
How to muster up the courage, patience, persistence and determination to live a life of integrity–putting your attention on the values that support your purpose, relationships, and contribution to the community.
And so many more smokin’ hot ideas that just roll off his tongue!

Brian Johnson is a philosopher. The image of long white beards, thick books and dusty shelves may come to mind, but you will be surprised to be know that it is a remarkably handsome bald guy whose online videos and quick fix it notes are the new look for a modern day philosopher.
Brian is committed to inspiring (& empowering) you to live your greatest life. After selling his last business (Zaadz) in 2007, he decided to give myself a Ph.D. in How to Live/Optimal Living with a specialization in Greatness, Bliss and Enthusiasm. He gave himself a Master’s by pulling 1,000+ life-changing Big Ideas from 100 of his favorite self-development books and packaged them in fun, smart, inspiring and PRACTICAL “PhilosophersNotes.”
