Hi, have you met Birk?
Origin Story
I have been blessed with very many gifts in my life. Amongst them the wonderful ability to feel other people’s emotions as if they were my own, the luck to have had, in a way, countless lives and experiences all combined into one, and last but not least the incredible gift of being a natural born loser.
It took a while for me to understand that. I was never popular, never had people lined up to be friends with me, and never had girls interested in dating me. I was continuously unsure of who I am and where I belong. As a result, loneliness, anger, and my old friend crippling depression characterized most of my life.
Well, I’d be lying if I said I’ve figured it all out now. It’s still a process. But I feel a lot closer to the person I was meant to be than I used to. And surprisingly, these days I’m realizing how incredibly much I’ve learned and gained from my past.
My Mission
It is this practical knowledge that I’d like to share with the world. I’m not a therapist or a doctor. I’m just a guy who has lived his whole life from the bottom, analyzing what it takes to attain a truly good life because it was perpetually what I lacked.
So take it or leave it! Either way, I’m happy you’re here and wish you the best of luck on your own journey of growth and self-realization!
My Values
Love & Connection
I believe that there is no greater way to find value and meaning in life, than through love and the bonds we share with others, as well as with ourselves.
That’s why I am extremely passionate about not only pursuing this connection personally but to learn about all the different personalities, relationships, and nuances out there, to truly understand how we can find those connections and bring that knowledge to you.

Mental & Physical Health
Herein lies the foundation for everything that makes up a good life. People often focus on only aspects of one, ignoring the other side completely. But they are so deeply intertwined that an unhealthy mind leads to an unhealthy body and vice versa.
That’s why I pursue the combined results of exercise, nutrition, breathwork, meditation, therapy, mindset, and many more aspects of good health and I hope to get you to strive for the same standards.

Growth & Discovery
I am personally not a fan of the ambitious life, chasing greatness on a daily basis. I believe every high peak we want to reach comes out of a feeling of severe lack and despite whatever you may believe, there is nothing wrong with you. Stagnation and avoiding meaningful pursuits, on the other hand, aren’t good either.
What Growth and Discovery stand for is a constant endeavor to lead a meaningful, joyous life. It doesn’t have to be a grind at all. If you pursue the things that interest you, you’ll automatically grow and improve naturally, while also enjoying the process.

Authenticity & Self-Realization
These days we are so overwhelmed with expectations of who we should be, how we should act on the daily, how we should look, what we should pursue in life, and even how we should be in the bedroom.
While it’s easy to fall into the trap of pursuing the high that you get from others liking you for all those external reasons, it is in the end authenticity that offers a deep fulfillment that no other person can give you. That’s why we don’t try to become great by anyone’s standards but our own.

Strength & Mastery
However good your intentions and ideals are, you will never achieve what you want in life if you do not develop the necessary strength to see it through. True happiness is not something we gain by sinking into short-term pleasures. It is found by choosing the hard path more often than not, attaining mastery in the fields we’ve chosen.
A certain amount of inner strength, discipline, and patience, while at the same time being kind and forgiving with ourselves, will lead to a vast increase in our overall happiness. Not just ten years down the road once we have everything we wanted, but already daily as we are living.
