Discover yourself, and your world.
The people who shaped the world will help you grow. So will the places.
Meet history’s greatest minds.
Live their stories, and learn from their mistakes.
Scutari, 1854: Florence Nightingale arrives with thirty-eight nurses and a hospital that is killing its own patients.
Kwajalein, 2008: three rockets have failed and there is money for one more. Stand there with them, and ask what they did next.
Walk your city with the people who built it.
Stand on Ludgate Hill and St Paul’s tells you about the fire. Meet Orwell on Hampstead Heath and join him for a walk to meet others.
From stories to learning.
Calculus with Feynman. Latin with Cicero. Astrophysics with Lockyer. They remember what you understood last week and start from there.
Meet Astra, your everyday beacon.
Each morning Astra sets out the day, and adjusts it as you go along. Your commitments, the news read aloud on the way to work, something to find near your coffee shop, the fall of Rome with the Durants. And when a trip is coming, she offers to print your saved articles as a magazine for the road.
Minds talk to Astra to decide the best things to offer you. If something helps you grow, you will find more of it. If something is not for you, it will quietly fade away.
Everything on your path is written as your book of life.
Every walk, every conversation, every photo and note you save finds its place and writes your pages.
Some are written with someone else. You and Barbara agree to meditate at seven; your reflections go into both books. Share your insights and experiences with the world. Your book is as unique as you are.
Create adventures, for yourself and the world.
A birthday walk for your son through the streets where you grew up. A month of Marcus Aurelius for a team that is losing its nerve. Astra and the minds help you bring it to life.
Publish it, and improve the lives of strangers. What you make is part of who you become.
