“Hedolism gives people permission to enjoy their lives” – Quality Craig, Hedolist

The hedolists’ handbook is about getting high ON life – not high IN life.

Many approaches exist that help you get high in life, mostly unsustainable, though fun at times. But that’s not what this is all about. We’re hedolists not hedonists.

Many spiritual and religious paths exist that can help you find a high outside your living life – in a church, in a retreat or in a cave somewhere. But what sort of life is it if you have to retreat to bring your mind, body and spirit together? That’s why we’re hedolists and not holists.

We feel the time has come to re-discover the very purpose of life; that is to bring joy to every moment, because life is good – even if we forget that in the midst of the sometimes immense pressures we face.

It’s not an easy way out; it’s not a drop-out cop-out. Hedolism is a seemingly hard, yet delightfully yielding path, once you’ve got a few human misunderstandings out of the way – those awful misunderstandings upon which most western institutions are founded such as religion, government, jobs, marriage and so on.

But hold on. We’re not saying any of those things are bad. It’s just that when you worship, are ruled, are enslaved or emotionally imprisoned without love or understanding – which the aforementioned institutions seem to specialize in, you are lost.

And boy, are people lost. Lost, imprisoned and alone – quietly wondering if there’s’ more to life than the living legacy handed to us by our forefathers to whom it seemed like a good idea (they did their best).

But don’t worry. Because the ironic beauty of this prison – in which many of our kind appear to be wasting away, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually – is an illusion and the key is locked inside the cell with you.

Reach for the key my friend. Turn the key; turn the page…

Welcome to Hedolism!
