First, let me say, I’m not trying to sell anything—to you guys...unless you’re interested, which is definitely not the point of this thread.
But I am looking to plumb the depraved sherdog hive-mind. As much as I hate you filthy bastards, deep down I know that I’m one of you...
I’ve been working on a project for the last 18 years or so and I’m about to start publicizing it. It’s not really “Life Coaching” (and I hate that term, so I won’t be using it), but I haven’t come up with a great designation of my role. I’m asking you idiots to help me with this, so do your worst.
A lot of what I’ll be doing is teaching a practical philosophical/spiritual theory which includes elements from stoicism, existentialism, virtue ethics, and a hodgepodge of insights from world religions (in a one on one, quasi-therapeutic setting) coupling that with a set of exercises and goal-seeking strategies, and probably an informal lecture series—maybe on YouTube—maybe in person, probably both.
So I think that I’ll call myself an ethical and spiritual advisor. Maybe I’ll put a “/life-coach” on the end if that seems easier to understand. What do you dickwads think?
I’m also brainstorming the name of the project as a whole. My original name for it was “The Telos Project,” but there’s a bunch of assholes who run a counseling group in Texas that already took it.
Then I was thinking of calling it “Natural Teleology” (Telos & teleology are about purposes and the study of purposes).
