They say you can accomplish anything…
if you believe in yourself.
if you put your mind to it.
if you work hard enough.
But what if they are completely wrong about what we control?
Control is the foundation of our lives. Not knowing the purpose of our existence, longing for control is understandable. But our need is too intense, blinding us to a fatal flaw.
A modern day understanding of randomness and probability offers clarity. Our ability to control is not what it seems. And pretending otherwise causes our constant suffering and threatens our future.
Fortunately truth brings opportunity. Accepting a lack of control would enable lasting peace and prosperity. We could value sustainability over outcomes, intention above effect. Our perspective would be different and we could change the world forever.

Jonathan studies the ability of our behavior to overcome the randomness of our world.
Apart from research, Jonathan has been a financial advisor since 2000, began his investment firm in 2004, is a CFP® certificant and served as adjunct faculty of finance at Wayne State University’s School of Business.
We can overcome the randomness of our world.
Why do we need control? Can we give up control and accept randomness while society tells us otherwise? And how do we create sustainability in a random world?
Jonathan presents his research as a keynote with three objectives:
Evidence our intense need for control.
Present proof of randomness and the control fallacy.
Provide a more logical and beneficial way forward.
Changing the world starts with a better understanding of ourselves.
Jonathan focuses on the theme of self-reflection while writing about control, randomness, behavioral psychology, probability theory, sustainability and mindfulness.
