Artists are often counterculture. Artists are passionate about what they do and practice their art for its own sake. Many achieve secondary rewards for their achievements but that is not the intention. The intention is to find joy and personal expression in the experience of the moment. It is in this spirit which the information and practices on this site a promote a healthy lifestyle as an art form. As Einstein said, "Great spirits often encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds" and you too will find great opposition to your healthy pursuits. You will be a salmon swimming upstream against the current of culture. You will be taking the road less traveled. You will be on a hero's journey and will arrive on the other side stronger, more vigorous, more confident, and more capable of making a life not just making a living.
