Aims and Objectives - the Stages
Bear in mind that this is merely an outline - in practice, stages will overlap to some degree, and details may be altered to fit changing requirements.
Stage 1: Development, publication and promotion of this website, which includes the invitation for supporters to contribute both financially and intellectually to the development of a book on this practical philosophy.
Stage 2: Completion and publication of "the book." Writing of the book (as yet untitled) is already underway. This book will be the first publication to describe the background to the basic philosophy, the practical application of the principles explained, and will include additional chapters covering more in-depth thoughts. Members of the Tide are encouraged to provide constructive feedback on "first look" drafts sent to them from time to time for their to review. March 2006 - Your Life Manual: Practical Steps to Genuine Happiness was published. See the Genuine Happiness website for more details.
Stage 3: Conduct workshops to promote and discuss the book - the concepts, the philosophy and the application. Additional publications will be developed during this stage to further expand on the practical application of the philosophy.
Stage 4: Establish a center for the organization and dissemination of the practical aspects of the philosophy. Workshops and Seminars will be held here to expand on the points covered in the publications. Work of this center will include interfacing with the community at large, coordinating projects to assist charities, relief efforts, and other causes.
