April 2015
Journey Begins
In April of 2015, enough went wrong in my life causing me to fall into a deep depression. I felt all the negative feelings I had repressed for my entire life coming up all at once. My depression was both the darkest time of my life and the greatest period of change. During this miserable darkness, I realized I did not like who I was or how I was living and worst of all, I had never truly been happy. I was not going to continue living this way. I promised myself I would change with three goals in mind:
- I would overcome this depression
- I would be better
- I would find true happiness
These three goals started a grand journey that I have been on ever since.
April 2015 - May 2018
Intellectual Study
- Reading 100+ psychology/self-help books
- Watching thousands of hours of Ted Talks and self-improvement videos
- Obtaining a degree in neuroscience
- Creating a blog to share my learnings
May 2018 - April 2020
Happiness Website
The next part of my journey began with my passion for happiness leading me to barge into Dr. Raj Raghunathan’s office to discuss his book “If You’re So Smart Why Aren’t You Happy.” I was intrigued how he approached happiness from an intellectual perspective as a medium for being a better person. I was so intrigued; I agreed to help Raj build out the website for his upcoming Happiness at Work Course titled “HEROIC.” This opportunity to share happiness practices for making others better was the first time I felt truly aligned with myself. During this time, I spent 80-100 hours a week learning programming and building out the website for HEROIC, which is still my fondest memory.

World Travels
The travel part of my journey started with a spontaneous trip to Yosemite National Park because I was too fed up with my life. My first stop at Yosemite was standing on a dangerous ledge called Overhanging Rock. Gazing over the immense beauty of the valley while being mere inches from death made me wake up. I started to feel the only thing holding me back from living my own life was myself. I fully freed myself to live my life and continue adventuring in nature a lot longer. During my world adventures I:
- Hiked thousands of miles
- Witnessed jaw-dropping beauty
- Found true happiness
- Figured out who I am
My adventures were the perfect medium to directly experience my passions of happiness, personal growth, and the essence of a great life.
