Optimal Living Daily - Personal Development and Self-Improvement

As he was going through an expired relationship, John Kim created a blog on Tumblr called The Angry Therapist and started to document his journey post divorce. He blogged about his short comings, revelations, and his views on relationships, the self help business, and the world, and started coaching people in unconventional ways, even as a licensed therapist. Through this process, he came up with his own concepts. He realized that there was a new way to help others, combining what he learned in therapy school with life coaching and using technology to be mobile and create online communities. John’s path has led him to become a pioneer in the field of self help; he is an entrepreneur, published author, public speaker, and a teacher. The Angry Therapist has become greater than just John Kim. It is a growing team of therapists and life coaches all over the world--practicing transparency, living as the truest versions of themselves, continually growing, and in this process becoming Catalysts. It is also a school, teaching this new way of helping others and supporting them in that journey.

Courtney Carver was stopped in her tracks with a scary MS diagnosis after decades of debt, discontent, and trying to do it all. She had to slow down, prioritize her health, and figure out what was really important in her life. She discovered what mattered most by getting rid of everything that didn’t matter at all. In the end it all came down to love and health. She went from a busy, overwhelmed advertising director to spending 2-3 hours every morning taking care of herself, loving her work, and being present and engaged with the people she loves. Her family changed, too. They moved from wanting bigger closets, nicer furniture, and more stuff to downsizing into a 750 sq. ft apartment with no storage. Courtney has written books, courses, and hundreds of articles to help you simplify your life and work so you can focus on what really matters.
