David Fajgenbaum, a former Georgetown quarterback, was nicknamed the Beast in medical school, where he was also known for his unmatched mental stamina. But things changed dramatically when he began suffering from inexplicable fatigue. In a matter of weeks, his organs were failing and he was read his last rites. Doctors were baffled by his condition, which they had yet to even diagnose. Floating in and out of consciousness, Fajgenbaum prayed for a second chance, the equivalent of a dramatic play to second the game into overtime.

New York Times best-selling author and 2018 Templeton Award nominee Gregg Braden crosses the traditional boundaries of science and spirituality to answer the timeless question at the core of our existence.

Only once did David Foster Wallace give a public talk on his views on life, during a commencement address given in 2005 at Kenyon College.

They underpin our daily lives – from social media to education and health – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Scores are instructional manuals for behaviour. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions weaponize scoring to impose their own interests.

Not too long ago my heavenly father gently put his arm around me. In a calm voice he kneeled beside me and said, “Son you’ve messed up. Remember the things I told you in the past.

Humanity needs now to reclaim its sovereignty. Only in this way will humanity step into its rightful future. The "New World" awaits a new sovereign human being. It is time to: own your sovereignty.
