We are not here to simply endure life, but to thrive. It’s a choice we all have to make.
In this course, Dr. Stacy Taniguchi tells a series of powerful stories from his experience climbing the tallest summits in the world. It will make you want to live a life to Thrive!
Lesson 1
Introduction
An Invitation
Dr. Stacy Taniguchi, experienced mountain guide and university professor, invites you to consider how his experiences on the mountain can inspire you on your Journey to Purpose.
Introduction to Thrive
A life-changing experience on the cliffs of Denali changed Dr. T’s perspective on what it means to thrive in life. This powerful concept can help and inspire you in your own life’s journey.
Lesson 2
One Step at a Time
The First Summit
Everybody can find a purpose that is completely their own, something that keeps them going even in difficult situations.
When we feel stuck, that purpose might not be apparent, but there is always a way to move forward. And no matter what, remember that one step at a time is enough.
Lesson 3
It’s Not Too Late
The Great Choice
It’s never too late to plan for the rest of your life. Are you prepared to go after what you want, to protect what you really care about? Are you deliberately seeking opportunities to thrive in life? You can make that choice.
Lesson 4
Core Values
