TLDR;
"The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom" is a course is about The Big Picture. The Purpose and The Way. It is a jigsaw of ‘super ideas’ from different fields, integrated into the Awareness-Intent-Creativeness (AIC) Triple-Helix (the One Model to Rule Them All!).
The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom is a system for personal excellence.
This ambitious, comprehensive, and intellectually-stimulating (?) project, aims for peak performance and creativeness (in other words, doing 'Great Work'). It contains some of the best super ideas about personal management and growth.
The Big Idea : We need better and simpler forms of knowledge, planning, and daily actions... These make the Awareness-Intent-Creativeness triple-helix.
The central framework of the Atlas (Awareness-Intent-Creativeness) integrates and simplifies popular and important super ideas (maps) about practical wisdom, learning and knowledge, strategy, planning, creativity, psychological well-being, success and personal management, habits, and effective work…
The result: a more spontaneous and brave ability to create!

There is a lot of noise about personal development, success, and growth. The problems with success guru-ism are many, but the key is simple: What is not natural, mentally present, and personally applicable won't work.
The Atlas of Worldly Wisdom is a jigsaw of super ideas... 1001 maps (not really) that add up to Great Work & (Personal) Excellence!
The (overly ambitious) aim? Transform life into an ongoing act of creativeness!
This (seemingly weird) course is about The Big Picture. The Purpose and The Way. I've gathered many 'super ideas' from different fields, and integrated them into the Awareness-Intent-Creativeness (AIC) Triple-Helix.
We need evolved (natural, simplified, personal) forms of knowledge, planning, and daily actions... These are the key to dealing with the plurality and complexity of the world, and they constitute the Awareness-Intent-Creativeness triple-helix.
The idea is: Plurality and Complexity are inescapable. Your growth (and wisdom) depend on how you respond to these fundamental qualities of the world.
This course integrates ideas about practical wisdom, psychological well-being, learning and knowledge, success and personal management, strategy, planning, creativity, habits, work, into a giant comprehensive map… The Atlas will (hopefully) not only make learning and experience more actionable, but also serve to assimilate future knowledge into an evolving framework.
Active Knowledge, Creative Planning, and Aware Actions!
The AIC framework aims to :
Utilize Knowledge to develop a Awareness & Creativity
Improve Planning by exploiting Approximate Knowledge, Resource Sets, and Asymmetries
Transform actions and habits into heroic creativeness and peak performance
Wisdom might be relevant to your work and daily life… more than you’d expect.
Applications of the Atlas :
Boost your (continuing) learning efforts with the course’s “Personal Knowledge Plan” and “The Worldly Wisdom Reading List”
Build better plans with the included frameworks and the “Personal Leadership Agenda”
Construct your own evolving “Knowledge Map”
Apply the key the ideas playfully with “The 10 Labors of Worldly Wisdom”
Challenge yourself (and have fun?) with the “Missions List” and try to complete it in 1 / 2 years.
Use the recommended tools, and expand your knowledge in the different fields suggested throughout the lectures, to create a personalized approach to practical wisdom and creativeness!
Disclaimer
The Atlas is NOT a quick fix or a shortcut. I don’t promise you that you will attract money if you wish hard enough. Nor that you will become Yoda. I won’t even promise you that it will be easy.
I can, however, promise that you will learn (very) important things – and if you apply them (difficult task), many things in life will seem easier (I can also promise that for the intellectually curious, the journey will be an enjoyable one).
May courage (and luck) be with you.
