Seeking Authenticity

Seeking Authenticity is a philosophy venture aimed at better understanding what values we as humans prioritize, why we tend to prioritize them, and how they have evolved (or not). The book is a collection of essays on individual values along with personal narratives of a year-long surf expedition I took and the podcast is interview-style where I talk with people I find authentic about their story, what values they believe are important, and why. Below are some fun pictures and statistics, but for more information on this project, please adventure around the rest of this website!
