Warm greetings from the ToDo Institute.
I hope you landed on your feet after all that’s gone on in our world recently. If you didn’t land on your feet, give us a call and we’ll help you get back up. “Seven times down, eight times up” is a Japanese maxim that we live by and teach by. It’s an example of the radical common sense of Japanese Psychology that helps us to be resilient in our magnificent, unpredictable, and sometimes bewildering world.
For over three decades, we have been sharing perspectives on mental health that challenge the mainstream medical model. We offer an empowering alternative to the establishment’s overreliance on medication, reinforcement of self-focused attention and enhancement of victim identity.
Our alternative approach to mental wellness, informed by Japanese Psychology, goes far beyond symptom reduction. It teaches resilience and takes the mystique out of coping with life. Through our programs, we have translated the wisdom of Japanese Psychology into lifelong practices that nourish your spirit, strengthen your relationships, and deepen your connections with the world.
If you’ve been studying with us, you’ve had experience with a wide range of skills and practices that can be game-changers. Coexisting with your feelings, by taking action or restraining action, can help you live with integrity and purpose. Reflecting on your impact on the world can soften your heart toward others and transform your relationships. Accepting what is uncontrollable can lead to peace of mind and focused energy on what you can actually control. Exploring the richness of the sensory world can revitalize your spirit and ease self-preoccupation. Clarity of purpose can provide focus, passion and deep reward throughout your thirty thousand days.
Japanese Psychology goes beyond superficial answers and shallow strategies. It addresses the basic issues that we struggle with in our own hearts, in our families and as fellow citizens.
As a small non-profit, we rely on the support of those who value the wisdom and beauty of Japanese Psychology and who appreciate the radical common sense of this work. Will you support our efforts to keep this natural approach to mental wellness alive by making a tax-deductible contribution today?
Please partner up with us. Every donation matters. Gregg joins me in sending our sincere appreciation.
With all good wishes,
