“I recently finished an online writing course with Mark Matousek.
After 30 years of seeking, I found Mark to be someone who gently,
and consciously, offers feedback, teaching, and healing that gave me
permission to safely peer into my inner world. In six weeks the insights
and doors to deeper creative potential were wide open.”

Optimism is a philosophical choice, in fact, that is available to every one of us when we open our eyes to our human potential, and the goodness of the people around us. This radical, uplifting way of seeing is the antidote to the catastrophic worldview so fashionable in these troubling times.
