Transform Your Life
Philosophy for Freedom and Flourishing
OSI’s courses teach you principles and practices for living the happiest life possible and defending freedom on solid ground. Here’s an indication of what participants say:
- “This course teaches ‘how to think/integrate’ rather than saying ‘this is the tool to use’—very valuable, and very individualist.”
- “I’m so pleased with the ideas I took away from it and the positive changes that I’m already making in my day to day life. Really a rich course material and a highly personal and inspiring teacher.”
- “I wish I could have taken this course decades ago.”
- “This course comes with my highest possible recommendation!”
- “The zealous energy, exchange of ideas and suggestions, relevant content, methods by which we can further ‘investigate’ literature . . . All of it was well worth my time!”
- “I wasn’t sure what to expect . . . I was mind-blown.”
- “This course is a goldmine.”
