My current work traces growth across interconnected layers:
• Body → Longevity — survival, regulation, and care of the self
• Person → Growth — development from childhood through adulthood
• Collective → Growth — companies, institutions, and relational systems
• Civilization → Philosophical — systems design, stewardship, and the future of the collective
All of this work is governed by a single, enduring question:
What conditions allow individual life—biological, psychological, and moral—to grow in alignment, and collective human life to evolve coherently, rather than fracture under pressure?
ACADEMIC WORK
I was trained in law and legal theory, where my early work examined violence beyond its conventional boundaries—expanding the concept to include psychological harm, institutional bias, the enforcement of unequal power dynamics, and the contested meanings of self-determination within international engagement. This inquiry extended to the evolving concept of individual personhood within Western legal schools of thought.
Selected academic writings are made available here for those interested::
- Reconceiving Violence — Master’s Thesis – McGill Law School
- Self-Determination in International Law — Master’s Thesis – Harvard Law School
- From Status to Contract: Reimagining Personhood — Ph.D. Dissertation – Harvard Law School
These works reflect earlier stages of inquiry, but many of their central questions are foundational to my current work.
CURRENT PROJECTS
Over time, my work has widened to include questions of psychological integration, and later, the conditions that allow human beings to live longer, healthier, and more coherent lives—along with the systems best suited to support them.
Longevity & Health
My Longevity Series focuses on practical, research-informed approaches to living longer, healthier, and more balanced lives in a world in which we all live in a biological exile. These books explore the role of temperature, pressure, water, ritual, and place in restoring the body’s four core regulatory systems: neurological, biochemical, circulatory, and mechanical. These are not wellness trends. They are regulatory memories held by the body—memories that can be reawakened even in altered environments. Longevity, reframed this way is about reconciliation: between the body we inhabit and the environments we now ask it to survive in.
These books are available on Amazon and Kindle:
- The Top 10 Anti-Aging Foods (And the Science Behind Why they Work)
- The Meditation Book: A Comprehensive Guide
- Supplements and Natural Remedies After 40 (A Wellness and Relaxation Atlas for the Human Body)
Growth & Systems
The Growth Series explores how individuals and institutions evolve—psychologically, legally, and structurally. These works examine how systems of belonging, production, and governance shape human behavior and opportunity. Central to this work is the role of time and memory in the retention of our collective bonds, and our ability to adapt to changing environments individually and organizationally with the injection of technology.
The Original You – Archive
The Original You is an ongoing archival project dedicated to conversations about self, identity, and authenticity in a technological world. It serves as a space for dialogue rather than performance. In time, this archive will include recorded interviews and public conversations, with opportunities for participation and contribution.
Humanity as an Elemental Force
Much of modern thought and collective action treats humanity as a collection of individuals, institutions, or ideologies—managed, organized, and deployed toward the ends sought by those exerting power.
The Original You begins from a different premise: that humanity itself behaves as an elemental force—exerting pressure, generating tides from countless human consciences and micro-cultures, and creating the conditions that shape individual lives over time.
Like water, this force can sustain, erode, stagnate, or release. Individuals experience it not abstractly, but somatically: as periods of compression, fracture, stillness, and renewed motion.
The podcast traces how people encounter this force at specific inflection points—and how moments of safety, relationship, reflection, or technology allow motion to return.
Philosophical Trilogy (in process)
My forthcoming trilogy weaves ancient history, memoir, philosophy, and systems design in a futuristic world deploying new technology and humanism. Together, the books examine contrasting narratives of progress, psychological integration in a fragmented world, and the possibility of new socio-economic systems that restore individual agency while preserving collective responsibility.
