Sharp Thoughts about World Neothink® Day

The Neothink Society · Human Nature · May 2009

World Neothink Day is the day the Society gathers to celebrate one thing held in common across every member, in every country: the love of life.

The Society runs many projects, each with its own aims. Underneath all of them is a single shared center. Members build prosperity, health, and abiding happiness in their own lives, and the love of life is the common denominator that connects the worldwide community.

Shared center. The love of life is the one thing every member holds in common, across every project and every country.

A first World Neothink Day reveals something stronger than a high-energy celebration. It reveals belonging. Belonging to a community larger than any one person, made up of self-led men and women who love life and work to make the world better in concrete ways.

World Neothink Day gathers self-led men and women from every country around their one shared center, the love of life, and turns that belonging into real solutions across business, family, health, and self-leadership.

This community holds dreamers and builders in the same room. The dreamers carry the vision. The builders turn that vision into real solutions across business, family, health, and self-leadership. Each member follows a personal essence, the work that is theirs to do.

Dreamers and builders. Vision and execution sit in the same room, and that pairing is what produces real solutions.

That is what the broadcasts showed as the day moved across the country. People living and working like a family.

  • A self-made real estate millionaire dancing alongside a longtime member.
  • A tailgate gathering with children running through the crowd.
  • A lecture laying out the statistical case that peace is rising across the world.

All of that in the first year. The years that follow build on it.

Common Questions

What is World Neothink Day? World Neothink Day is the day the Neothink Society gathers, across every country, to celebrate the one thing every member holds in common: the love of life. It is a worldwide community event rather than a single-location party.

How is World Neothink Day different from an ordinary celebration? An ordinary celebration runs on energy that fades when the event ends. World Neothink Day reveals belonging to a community larger than any one person, so what it marks continues in members' daily lives long after the day is over.

Why is the love of life called the common denominator? The Society runs many different projects, each with its own aims. The love of life is the single shared center underneath all of them, the one value every member holds regardless of which project they work on or which country they live in.

What do dreamers and builders have to do with it? The community holds dreamers and builders in the same room. Dreamers carry the vision and builders turn that vision into real solutions across business, family, health, and self-leadership. The pairing is the mechanism that converts shared values into concrete results.

What does belonging mean in the Neothink Society? Belonging means being part of a community of self-led men and women who love life and work to make the world better in concrete ways. It connects a member to people larger than any one person while keeping each person responsible for their own life.

How does personal essence fit in? Each member follows a personal essence, the work that is theirs to do. Personal essence is how an individual contributes to the shared center, so the love of life shows up as specific work across business, family, health, and self-leadership.
