Practical Knowledge

Project Introduction Class

Free

This course teaches about the differences between “Assumed Knowledge” and “Practical Knowledge” using fun and interactive demonstrations.  It will then walk you through what the Shared Perspective Project is and how its innovative approach brings the power of Practical Knowledge to the world of Mental Health.

Mental Anatomy

This class will provide you with a simple framework for understanding what the human mind is and how it functions on a basic level. It will break the mind down into simple parts and walk you through an in-depth analysis of each part and how they work together. The course will give practical answers to important topics, like what does a mind do? How can we effectively use our emotions? And how do our beliefs affect our mental health?

Mental Fitness

In the same way that running on a treadmill is a different type of physical effort from lifting weights, this class will walk participants through the unique ways we can flex our minds. It will give you a first hand taste for each of these effort types and discuss different informal habits we can use to build and promote the unique powers of our minds. Empowered by this class, individuals can easily create a mental fitness plan that is tailored to their unique life, making it simple to harness the power of meditation. 

The Evolution of Ethics

This class uses modern perspectives to look at human relationships through the lens of evolutionary science. It provides an easy to understand and straightforward approach to the complex domain of ethics and morality by breaking it up into bite size categories that build upon each other. It teaches about the “what” and “why” of morality, to enable people to naturally and intuitively understand “how” to act in an ethical way when relating with each other. This will conclude with an “ethics self inventory” and give participants a powerful way to assess their actions and the ethics of any situation they find themselves in.

This class is designed to teach the universal steps we move through as we progress from starting as a novice to full mastery in any skill. It streamlines this process by explaining how to effectively use the “Hierarchy of Competence” and the “3 Error Type System” to know how good you are at any given skill and how to best direct your effort. It discusses in depth what it feels like to be at the peak of human performance (Flow State) and how we can more reliably and consistently achieve our full potential (Flow).
