This site exists for two reasons: 1) to provide practical guidance coupled with well-accepted theoretical research and 2) to gather and interpret responses from the attached survey so that we may better understand the relationship between a holistic approach to life and happiness.   By collecting and analyzing the data, we hope to provide in the near future additional thoughts and guidance on this 21^st Century approach to happiness. 

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, while groundbreaking and we believe to be accurate, has two shortcomings: 1) a lack of empirical research to support his theories and 2) a difficulty in explaining how an individual makes the quantum leap in life to have peak experiences leading to happiness or self-actualization.  We believe that the Pyramid Builder theory addresses the later shortcoming of reaching peak experiences and we hope that the attached survey provides the much needed empirical research for proper documentation. 

We hope that you find this site and our theory of interest and please consider responding to the survey – we can use your help.
