Hey, I’m Wil !

I’m a resident doctor who became burned out from the constant stress and never-ending-grind of medical training. I had checked all the boxes—graduated summa cum laude with a 3.98 GPA in Biochemistry from Kennesaw State University, earned my MD from the Medical College of Georgia, and found myself deep in the hospital halls of Anesthesiology residency training. After a never ending amount of 24 hour shifts and early 5am workdays, I became severely burned out and desperately wanted to find happiness and live the best life possible.

I started to wonder..
What is happiness? How can we find it no matter our circumstances? How do we make the most out of our gift of life?

These questions led me to reading dozens of books, studying various philosophies, and finding ways to build a better life. I began to delve into a variety of topics such as Buddhism, Stoicism, Mindfulness, Productivity, Self-improvement, and much more. Slowly over time I began to refind my happiness and self on my journey to a better life. A life worth living. The ideas that I learned changed my life.

Somewhere amongst the chaos that my life was, I found clarity:
Everything I needed to be happy was already there. I just needed to open my eyes to finding it. Small shifts in mindset can create massive shifts in joy.

It is my goal to help you find and make these small shifts in your mindset, that way you too can rediscover all of the happiness available to you too. Improving our perspective, changing our habits, and optimizing our life we can truly make the most out of this gift of life.
