The Meaning Protocol is a one-page tracker. Score six parts of what your life is for from 0 to 10, read your shape, and choose one practice for the morning, the day and the evening. Keep them for seven days, then score again.
Epicurus taught that a good life needs little: friends, simple food, good conversation and the contentment of having enough. Two thousand years later we have more of everything and less of that. You can tick every box and still not know what any of it is for.
Meaning is rarely found. It is noticed, and then chosen. For seven days you'll make room for stillness, ask what deserves your life, and notice the moments that already matter. Faith is welcome, never required.
Small practices, kept for seven days, with one man who will ask you about them.
Ten minutes in silence, no input, before the day
Write one line: what would make today worth living?
Step outside and look at the sky for one full minute
Do one kind thing no one will know about
Eat one meal slowly, without a screen
Notice one moment of enough and say it to yourself: this is enough
Write three things that mattered today
Read one page of something that lifts you
Ask yourself: if this were my last week, what would I change tomorrow?
Score six parts of what your life is for, choose your practices, tick each day you keep them and name the man you told. It saves to your Oriva account, so you can come back to it every day.
Your lowest part, which of the other Whole Man areas it has cost you most, and the part to lift first.
Three for the morning, three for the day and three for the evening. You pick one of each.
What happens in your brain and body, what we forget, and what it changes in what your life is for and the rest of your life.
The Meaning Protocol is also one of the seven protocols in The Whole Man bundle. While the founding round lasts, the bundle costs less than this protocol on its own.
| The Whole Man bundle | The Meaning Protocol on its own | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $9.95 in the founding round | $20 |
| Protocols | All seven: Body, Mind, Money, Mission, Love, Brotherhood and Meaning | The Meaning Protocol |
| The Whole Man Manifesto | The ebook | Not included |
| Self-assessment | Across all seven areas, to find the one costing you most | Not included |
| Live session | A seat at the three-hour live session with Gavriel Shaw and Joshua Seymour | Not included |
| Private group | The Whole Man members’ group | Not included |
You choose one practice for the morning, the day and the evening, from three options each, so you decide how much time it takes.
You are taken to it as soon as your payment is confirmed. It is also listed under “Your protocol trackers” in My Purchases.
Only you. Your scores, practices and notes are saved to your own account.
Your commitment asks you to name one man you told, who will ask you about it. Who he is stays in your tracker.
You score the six parts again and see both shapes side by side, so you can see what moved.
If you want more than this one area, the bundle is the better deal: all seven protocols, plus the Manifesto, the self-assessment, a seat at the live session and the private group, for $9.95 in the founding round.
A practice, not a promised result. Faith is welcome, never required.
The Meaning Protocol: your one-page tracker, nine practices to choose from, why it works and three books to read next, for $20.
