Harmogenics: Essentials
Everyone has a life practice. Everyone. Most never really notice it but you're either cultivating your life or decultivating it. There are no other options.
Contemporary life fragments your attention, overstimulates you even as it drains your energy, and leaves you managing multiple identities across work, family, and endless digital demands. Meanwhile, mainstream self-help offers a diversity of solutions, none of which seem to fit your actual life.
Harmogenics: Essentials reveals a different approach: a dynamic system where your unique skills, talents and interests interact to create benefits you could never design in advance. This is harmogenics: the natural emergence of additional strengths when self-cultivation practices consciously connect.
Inside you'll discover:
How scattered habits become a coherent life practice through conscious connection
Four Prime Human Skills that have carried our species through a million years of existential challenges
Why combining practices creates emergent benefits that transcend any single effort alone
Practical guidance for building your core practice - one that fits who you already are right now
This isn't a watered-down version. It's a complete, accessible distillation of what harmogenics is and how it works. No complex philosophy required—just clear principles you can implement immediately.
Whether you read this as a standalone guide or as an introduction to the deeper Harmogenics: A Practical Guide to Constant Becoming, you'll have everything you need to start cultivating a thriving life.
The choice is yours: cultivation or decultivation. This book shows you how to choose wisely.
Harmogenics: A Practical Guide To Constant Becoming
The world has changed faster than human psychology can adapt. Most people are fighting with medieval minds in a technological age.
You feel it: The Weight of endless demands, fragmented attention, and emotional overstimulation. The Complex of consumption, convenience, and entertainment that turns you into a resource for commercial optimization (but they make it fun). And Constant Becoming—the accelerating pace of change that makes simply Being impossible. You must constantly become or fall behind. The world is future-shifted, but most of our brains are past-shifted.
Traditional institutions weren't built for this. They’re medieval (or pre-medieval) structures trying to address godlike technology with Paleolithic emotions (borrowing from E.O. Wilson). Self-help offers a biosphere of choices, possibilities, paths that just don't click with many of us for some reason.
Harmogenics: A Practical Guide to Constant Becoming offers a simple approach, largely taken for granted. Self-cultivation.
This comprehensive three-part guide delivers:
Part One: Harmogenics
Discover how consciously connected practices create emergent benefits, "real magic" that turns separate efforts into something greater. It produces benefits you would not have received from any one or two practices alone. Learn to build an "autopoietic" life practice that regenerates itself through natural feedback loops.
Part Two: Prime Human Skills
Unlock four fundamental human capacities—resilience, innovation, imagination, and improvisation—that evolution gifted us for navigating existential challenges. We are descended from resilience itself, and these skills become exponentially more powerful when they interact harmogenically with your own unique practices.
Part Three: Living in Constant Becoming
Navigate the medieval-to-modern psychological transition we're all experiencing. Understand why technological acceleration has outpaced human governance, and develop the flex-brain capacity to surf the wave instead of drowning in it.
This is a complete practical system supported by neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, with comprehensive scientific notes. You'll learn to cultivate emergence within your lived experience rather than adopting someone else's predetermined answers.
For readers willing to think deeply about contemporary challenges while gaining immediately applicable practices, this book offers both wisdom and tools for thriving in a world of Constant Becoming that refuses to slow down.
You don't need to read Harmogenics: Essentials to read, understand and apply this book.
Your skills, talents, and interests are waiting to become something more. This book shows you how. And why that matters.
