You can’t count the apples in a seed

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but plant one of those seeds, let it grow, and who knows how many apples can come from that nurtured tree?

Our goal at Wiser Now, Inc. is to plant seeds that will lead to an infinite number of connections to your fellow human beings and to your own curious mind. We want you to experience a quality of life that is delicious and satisfying.

One of the most indisputable keys to both mental and physical health, as proven by dozens of studies*, is that having strong social connections – family and friendships – increases both longevity and well-being. In all we do, Wiser Now aims to strengthen those connections.

The universal soil

All the materials created for Wiser Now, Inc. – even the most serious – are based on three words:

• Ha-ha
• Ah-ha
• Aaaahhh

The ha-ha represents the need for exercises to be fun, first because relaxed learners learn more, and second because people who are having fun exercise more often and longer. Plus, laughter brings oxygen to the brain to literally "freshen" your thinking.

The ah-ha represents the new information and new ideas we expose you readers to. The aim is to arouse your curiosity, because when you learn something new, your brain grows new dendrites, meaning it makes new connections, or grows new pathways.

The aaaahhh indicates you have gotten lost in the pleasure of doing something you enjoy. Time flows.

This is our mantra:

• Laughter builds rapport.
• Rapport builds trust.
• Trust builds relationships.
