About This Course

It's the program that laid the foundation for everything Monk Manual is today.

This 52-week program helps you uncover the deeper rhythm beneath your time and work — your habits, values, and beliefs — so you can live and lead from a place of clarity and purpose.

It’s not a quick fix. It’s deep work — the kind that transforms how you see yourself, your priorities, and your impact. Over time, you’ll gain monk-like clarity and courage to live fully aligned with who you’re meant to be.

Your Rule of Life

Redesign your foundation

Examine and edit the premises beneath your approach to time and work.

Reform your rhythm

Discover what’s holding you back, and form better habits and systems.

Write your Rule of Life

Design a flexible framework for your life that will support ongoing discernment, integration, and growth.

What got you here, won’t get you there.

Find Your Inner Monk isn’t about joining a monastery, wearing robes, or spending hours in meditation. It’s about learning to see the hidden bugs in your current operating system, and changing your ways of being in the world—ways that ultimately lead to deeper meaning, connection, and creative impact. You won’t be the same after taking this course (we guarantee it).
