This course meets you wherever you are in your journey to understand the world beyond popular wisdom and craft a life of your own choosing. There were sessions where ideas just clicked, giving crisp language to meandering thoughts in the back of my mind. Other sessions exposed me to new concepts or directly challenged deep-rooted subconscious notions. Ajay and Amit are candid and generous in sharing learnings from their life experiences and extensive reading. No question is too basic or too abstract, offering a rare opportunity to explore, examine and reframe your perceptions and beliefs.

Life Lessons isn’t just another course, it’s a fascinating collection of Amit and Ajay’s life experiences, distilled into practical insights. The Learning How to Think session completely changed how I approach decisions, and Probabilistic Thinking gave me a new way to handle uncertainty. What makes this course stand out is how it balances the scientific with the philosophical, making abstract concepts feel real and useful. The discussions were engaging, the readings thought-provoking, and the community is a huge bonus. Amit and Ajay don’t just teach, they make you rethink how you see the world with unique frames. Highly recommend it to anyone curious about lifelong learning.

The course is a no-brainer. Being able to pick Amit and Ajay’s brain is well worth the price! Also meeting fellow learners who come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives on life makes it a lot of fun! The courses are broad which gives students interesting jump off points to learn further. I come from a finance background and loved the Probabilistic Thinking module. It resonated with me because math is one of my weaker spots but Amit and Ajay taught in a manner which made me curious and interested to know more. I find myself applying the concepts I learnt in work and life especially the learnings about personal health and finance. I am going through their recommended reading list and seeing the world through a new lens.

I was initially skeptical—I had never paid $1,500 for a 20-hour virtual course. But what drew me in was the idea of being part of a community that shares the same passion for life and learning.
And I’m glad I did. I have learned a ton and Beyond the course itself, I’ve had multiple opportunities for 1-on-1 discussions with Ajay, seeking his guidance, which has been truly invaluable.
I look forward to being part of this growing community and can’t wait to see how it evolves over the next 5–10 years.

The Life Lessons course is about learning to learn – The first principles and the approach required to pursue anything. Ajay & Amit are, first and foremost, students of life. Their ability to act, observe, reflect, question and engage with life and all that it brings, is something I aspire to imbibe. The webinars are fun, intense and full of “Life Lessons”. Since attending the first cohort, I find myself going back to the various webinars, again and again.

The Life Lessons course, I think of it as a Hill of Light. Under this light I’m learning: live in action; sharpen my truth; carry experiences—if, after all, life is that.
This journey began with Amit sir’s Seen & Unseen podcast. I listened. I engaged with his work. It gave me a feeling of having come to an anchor. I signed up for his Clear Writing course and fell in love with Writing. So deeply that I made my vows to pursue it. Those vows at first I neglected.
When the Life Lessons course came, I saw what the course component parts are & realised learning these alone can increase the experience of my life enormously. Also how he never lacks generosity in sharing his ideas & learnings. I signed up!
Ajay sir. Amit sir. They have a different beat for life & that rubs on you with each webinar—I no longer in the least want to hurry up and finish things; I want to niggle over details now. They plant a seed in your brain, wanting you to go deeper and wider. There’s desire for doing things; no desire for praises—during the course I discover that the profound pleasure is in the doings, & that there’s no life unhappy in this state.

Go ahead, sign up! It’ll be worth your time and money, i promise.
What first drew me towards this course was access to Amit and Ajay in a small intimate space. Given that we’re the average of people we spend most time with, an opportunity to spend time with both of them in close quarters wasn’t one I would miss. What clinched it for me though was the concept of the program – a series of lessons, learnt and experienced, that could be sent back via a time machine to your younger self.
I’m at an interesting juncture in my life, all of 38 years young! There’s so much of life ahead of me, which I’m in equal parts excited and anxious about. I had been on the lookout for frames of thinking, seeing and being to serve as a rudder to navigate life. Life lessons lived up to this promise and more!
So go ahead, sign up and be assured for a great ride ahead. Fair warning – you’ll get as much as you give, so don’t hold back and give yourself fully to the Life Lessons community. And yeah, my favorite sessions were the ones on Learning to Learn, Personal Health and Personal Finance.

I was introduced to Amit and Ajay via TSATU and got to know of this course through one of the episodes where they first spoke about this course. For me it was a no brainer to join it, knowing ‘kuch to seekh hi jaunga’. The course itself had an action packed agenda, which I was deeply curious to learn more about. For e.g., “Learning to Look”, “Learning to Learn”. My thoughts were, ‘Really! is it possible’, but having made TSATU a weekly part of my life since Covid, I was sold cause so many of the episodes in TSATU left me amazed at the interconnections of the topics. I did not regret it. I enjoyed the entire course thoroughly, although I am not a 100% sure how to use all of what Amit and Ajay taught us, but I am sure having joined this course, I increased the “surface area of serendipity” for myself and this will be handy when the time is right.

The Life Lessons course brings together key wisdom and insights in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. Some of these lessons you might pick up through life experience, but who knows when or if that will happen. What I really appreciate is that learning doesn’t stop after the course. The community shares thoughtful articles/links/insights, and those random interactions often lead to new perspectives. It’s an ongoing learning experience that keeps adding value.

Coming from a not-so-good educational background, I always felt that others knew something that I didn’t. This course gave me foundational knowledge. Now I don’t feel lesser anymore as I know my basics are covered.

Attending Life Lessons came at just the right time for me. I was navigating two major transitions, returning to Mumbai/India after 20 years as a global nomad and stepping away from full-time work. The experience sparked deep reflections, particularly in the areas of longevity, probabilistic thinking, and re-examining long-held beliefs about life and living. It also broadened my perspective on personal health, finance, and the ways we perceive and understand the world. I look forward to attending Life Lessons 2 sessions whenever possible.
