A Modern Day Plato’s Academy:
Excerpt Discussions: Heroic
Learning is part of who I am. I have been a student my whole life. As a physician, I am always reading and learning new ideas, new treatments, and new protocols in order to keep up with the ever changing landscape of medicine.
But just as I continue to stay sharp on my medical knowledge, I also love to read books that help me to grow as a person philosophically, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically, so that the best version of myself is present for my family and my patients.
More Wisdom-Less Time
Do you want more wisdom in less time?
Do you wish you could read books faster and glean the most important points that you can implement into you life, more quickly?
Do you want a play-by-play on how to live your most heroic life so that you can be the best version of yourself for those you love?
Over the past 5 months, I have been digging deep into the lectures, readings, videos, and discussions that Brian Johnson, the founder of Heroic, and his team have created. For the past several years, Brian has created philosopher notes, which are a 6 page summary of the high level thoughts and ideas that he believes will help you on your heroic journey.
I have been reading 1-2 a day, as they hit the high points of the book and it allows me to read the books that much faster because I am already familiar with the main topics - a high level cliff notes with much more impact.
Another aspect of Heroic that I enjoy are the daily +1’s that he creates. These daily videos are free and they distill an immense amount of wisdom in just 2-3 minutes. Here is an example:
There are literally 1000+ videos that he has created, for free, that will give you a short glimpse into the topics that he goes into more detail in his program, which if you want to learn more about - then click here.
I am not one to purchase coaching programs or to spend money on self help “gurus.” But what I have found with this program is that it is the single greatest compilation of lectures, videos, notes on so many different topics that are geared to making you and I better human beings.
Take a look at this compass from the Heroic website.
Look familiar? That’s because I modeled the Outdoor Rounds logo off of it because it has been that impactful in my life. If you look at the compass and the different virtues featured - ask yourself, how much time and energy have you been putting into developing those virtues in your own life?
Wisdom, courage, love, zest, gratitude etc. The Heroic program gives you a blueprint on how to improve each and every area on that compass. Spin the dial and see where it lands - no matter the virtue, Brian and his team have hundreds of videos, lectures, notes, and classes on each topic - giving you a blueprint with which to plant your foundation and grow as an individual.
Your Heroic Journey
I want to share this with you because it is my mission with Outdoor Rounds to encourage each and every one of you to take a time out for yourselves away from medicine and release your worries, relax your minds, and recharge your souls.
Medicine is a grind - listening to people’s problems all day long and dealing with all of the other administrative headaches takes a toll on the entire doctor - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I wouldn’t share this with you if I didn’t think that Heroic could change your life in the areas of energy, work, and love and give you the ability to flip the script on burnout and enable your to live the heroic lives as doctors that you are meant to live.
I’m committed to living a life filled with meaning and being my best in service to my family, friends, and patients.
If you want to learn more about how to optimize your life in the areas of energy, work, and love and you need a program to guide you on that path, then I highly recommend that you check out what Brian Johnson is building at Heroic.
Think of Heroic as a modern day Plato’s Academy that distills more wisdom in less time focusing on the heroic virtues of courage, wisdom, hope, love, zest etc.
His lessons and notes are thorough and thought provoking and give you a baseline from which you can build your own daily routines and habits that will help you to optimize your life.
I have been working through the coaching program over the past 5 months, and I can say, hands down, that this is the best program out there if you want to transform your life and the life of those around you.
If you are interested in learning how to create better habits in order to flip the script on burnout and optimize your energy so that you can show up better at work for your patients and at home for your family, then I highly recommend that you check out Heroic.

FLIP THE SCRIPT ON BURNOUT
There are a lot of articles being published about physician burnout, moral injury, work-life balance, work engagement, and work-life integration.
The purpose of the Outdoor Rounds Newsletter is to keep that discussion going by focusing on actionable steps that we, as healthcare professionals, can take to maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit that enables us to show up for our patients, families, and, most importantly, OURSELVES.

What if wellness experts spared overworked physicians from their next PowerPoint presentation and instead asked them to come up with their own language to capture their experiences and feelings?
