One practice, three doors.

Writing is where an idea starts. It isn't where it's supposed to stay. Here is where the ideas on this site get lived — and the order runs one way: the writing, the method, the vow.

i.

The writing — Baptized Buddhist

You are here. One man, two traditions, no syncretism: where they agree, where they don't, and the third position that holds them together. Plus the twelve sessions — the Buddhist-comparison strand of the year, written first for my own sons.

ii.

The method — Logotherapist.com

If the writing is the story version, Logotherapist.com is the reference: what Viktor Frankl's logotherapy actually is, in his own terms; what a logotherapist does and refuses to do; and what the evidence shows, at its real strength, with the weak parts named first. It also has the written exercises — a responsibility audit, the eulogy, the values stack, a one-sentence why you can write tonight — and a page on the famous things Frankl never said.

Start here if

You want the method, not the story — and you want to be able to check it.

iii.

The vow — Transcendent.com

One year in Surin. A vow spoken to a witness; a period of monastic silence in a Thai temple; three months living and working with the mahouts at an elephant camp; and, running through all of it, a year teaching English to Isan children who need it — because that is where men find out what they are for. For men. No cohort has finished yet, and the site says so.

Start here if

You have read enough and want to give a year to it.

The profession, separately

Three more doors, for a different visitor.

These are not part of the practice above; they are the professional side of the same man's work. Logotherapists.com is a directory of the field worldwide. Logotherapy.com will be the secular curriculum — the same course as the sessions here, with none of the theology, for any school. Logotherapist.ai asks one question: what would your best self do?
