✏️ I announced this week I'm launching a series called "A Call to Eudiamonia." My vision is to redefine modern day human flourishing. I'd love to collab with other writers and support those who are writing about collective flourishing – if you write about reimagining how we live & work, drop your Substack below or let me know if you're interested in collabing :)

"We’ve been contemplating the pursuit of a life well lived since the dawn of time. It is my belief that every single human on this earth deserves to experience a life well lived, whatever that means for them. It’s time to redefine modern day human flourishing."

My Substack, "The Art of Unintended Consequences" (https://davidnemzoff.substack.com/) is not related to your topic, but I am working on my next book focused on reimagining the K-12 educational system. I believe it is critical to reexamine and reimagine all aspects of our lives from time-to-time to operate at peak efficiency and hopefully maintain a higher level of happiness. Too many people forget about that last part.

I'm always interested in collaboration especially in regard to human flourishing. I both look to reimaging and lessons from the past. See article I just posted https://www.inmindwise.com/p/tevye-and-the-pogrom

I highly recommend collaborating with Dr Parks, he is interesting to talk to and a great interviewer. You can catch the one we did together over on his Substack.

Thanks for sharing, Ron! I've started to dig into your work – I'm spending time thinking through how collabs may take shape :)

Hi Dr Parks, I'd love to chat about collaborating. I'm new here at Substack and in the process of importing my subscribers from my other platform. I love your phrase, "Human Flourishing!" It seems we could have some fun discussions with your background as a holistic psychiatrist and my work as an EFT practitioner. :)

Hi, I am interested to explore collaborations, as part of my topics could indeed fall under the "redefine modern day human flourishing" Please visit https://mfioretti.substack.com/archive, and check out (especially) the articles about innovation, education, dating, parenting and "UBI, AI and reality", which in one way or another are about (IMHO, of course) "While we’ve raised the baseline for our material worlds, our inner worlds are more dysregulated than ever."

and if you find them interesting, please email me at mfioretti@nexaima.net. "

"Modern day human flourishing"

Yes, that's what my work is about. I found my way down this road in the context of integrative pain management and rehabilitation medicine for about 30 years. The same principles that enable a human being to rise above the challenge of spinal cord injury are the principles that enable us to flourish during difficult and shocking times. Would love to collaborate. I've only written my welcome and am just getting started on substack. https://drshiller.substack.com/p/welcome-to-soul-science-living. Also on www.drshiller.com

Hi, Cissy. I like the sound of your new series. (Nicomachean Ethics fan here.) I second many of the suggestions in this thread for people who focus on human flourishing. With a focus on "quiet reading," I come at the subject of flourishing from the questions of (a) how we reclaim attention and (b) what will motivate us back to sustained reading and high-quality relationships with books. From attention, quiet, and deep reading, other goods follow (and other writers cover them well). The Attention series started here: https://open.substack.com/pub/tarapenry/p/introducing-the-attention-chronicles?r=1mk0zn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

A new scene of Quiet Reading posts Christmas day.

An overview of what I write is at: https://tarapenry.substack.com/about.

Your idea of collaborating on the subject of flourishing looks very promising for a range of insights and approaches!

Hi Tara – what a beautiful angle of flourishing. this topic really resonates! I wrote an essay on our modern content diet a few months ago: https://www.moremyself.xyz/p/our-modern-content-diet

will check out your work :)

Hi Cissy, I love your vision for us to flourish. I write about similar issues, currently I am finishing off a series about making change that moves us closer to wholeness. I see this as being different than fixing our broken selves, rather it's a call to listen to our inner knowing and take steps to move into the truth of who we are. Touch base with me if a collab is of interest and we could get a plan. I look forward to reading your work.

hi Donna – a number of folks recommended your work to me :) love the focus on moving closer to wholeness and appreciating the unfolding of our life rather than viewing ourselves us something to be fixed. I just subscribed – look forward to reading your work & looking for threads to collab on!

Please put me down as being interested Cissy! I'm already kinda' working in this space with: Bright Side Writings - optimism-led, fortnightly stories to brighten these dark times of climate emergency and global strife.

In other words: flourishing!

I think your work and mine (our sensibilities) could be complementary in some very exciting ways. Happy to find productive (and fun) ways to collaborate.
