David dives deep into the forces that shape our lives—our need for health, wealth, and relationships—and the spiritual escapes that offer relief and renewal.
But this isn’t your typical self-help talk.
David challenges us to go beyond clichés, uncovering the raw, often uncomfortable truths about growth, suffering, and what it means to live fully. He offers a roadmap to integrate the “horizontal drives” that anchor us to reality with the “vertical escapes” that inspire and uplift us.
Whether you’re seeking practical insights to enhance your relationships or profound reflections on the nature of suffering, this conversation is an invitation to rethink how you approach your own life. It’s not about escaping life’s weight—it’s about learning to carry it with grace and finding the beauty in the process.

"The docuseries, the interviews and exercises all kept me glued to screen. I binge wathed it all in 2 days.
The best message was how David went searching for the love of power and discovered the power of love.
Not the message I normally go searching for but it was very profound. Your documentary has inspired me to meditate again and to practice some of the other exercises included.
Best documentary I've viewed In a long time. Inspiring!"

"I love the combination of practical exercises that can be done at home and the amazing people that show their already developed abilities.
I also loved that the series shows that everyone can become a "superhuman" and that we live far from what we could be capable of."
