The Year of Living Brilliantly is a 52-week video-based experience, hosted by Michael Bungay Stanier. 

Each week, you’ll receive a tiny spark of insight—a short, powerful video (2–5 minutes) from one of 52 brilliant minds. You’ll also get gentle nudges from Michael to help you reflect on, apply, and maybe even share what you’re discovering.

Here's What You Get:

• 52 sparks of brilliance — Each week, a new short video (usually 2–5 minutes) from a different teacher. One idea, tool, or practice to help you see things differently—or more clearly.

• Michael as your guide — With gentle prompts and reflections straight to your inbox and inside the platform to help you pause, absorb, and apply what resonates.

• A shared rhythm — Join others moving through the year with you in an interactive community platform. 

• A light structure — One insight per week. No pressure to “keep up.” Just a rhythm you can return to anytime.

• A private community space — Not noisy, not performative. Just thoughtful people reflecting together, sharing what’s real and what’s landing.

•  Optional live sessions — Join us once a quarter for community events to gather, reflect, and reconnect. Always 4pm ET on Thursdays.
