Foundations of Self-Mastery

Each of us wants to be authentically happy.

And we all desire to be able to look back on our actions & experiences with a sense of deep satisfaction, and to look forward to the future with a sense of great enthusiasm and hope.

More and more research, however, is confirming that being authentically happy, and feeling deeply satisfied with our life, are not nearly as related to achieving our external goals as modern society often leads us to believe.

In other words, getting that dream job likely isn’t enough, in itself… Becoming successful and wealthy might not bring you ALL you truly desire… Even marrying a partner you love and having great kids… Not a guarantee of full, abiding happiness, right?

It turns out that happiness and life satisfaction are more a result of your own inner capacity to cultivate what researchers call “subjective well-being”.

And your subjective well-being appears to result from having a special kind of “inner skill-set”one that’s almost never taught in schools.

Yet it’s a  very ‘special set of skills’ that can often determine whether you end up simply working hard to make a living, or actually working joyfully to create a truly satisfying life.

At Ubiquity we believe it’s these core skills “which we call Self-Mastery”that are indeed essential to ensuring the gratifying success of anything and everything else you choose to do in life.

And that’s why all incoming students take our Foundations of Self-Mastery course.

By the end of this course, you’ll discover much more about your own unique pathways to Subjective Well-being. You’ll gain valuable self-awareness about where you’re at now and more inspiring clarity around where you want to go next.

In following trimesters, you can move on to other Self-Mastery courses and modules where you’ll build the specific inner-skills and healthy life habits that will further increase your capacity to cultivate authentic happiness and deep satisfaction  wherever your life’s journey takes you.
