Ari Stathopoulos

Ari Stathopoulos was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia.

Raised in a climate of clashing cultures, diverse ideologies and conflicting community values, Ari struggled to find a balance between choice and obligation. He muddled through life for a while - 'being' and 'doing' exactly as expected, hoping to acquire the quality of life that he was lead to believe would eventually become available to him - and blaming himself for its absence, moreover, spiraling into further incoherence.

Determined to unravel himself from the personal disenchantment and persistent disconnect between reality and what he was taught to believe was right, real and true about the world, he rebelled until he eventually discovered that it was not the differences of his worlds that challenged him, rather, it was the similarities (rudimentary beliefs, superficial values, stifling behavioral constraints) that as a younger man (with a conventional education and rudimentary 'way of being' mindset) he was unable to distinguish clearly.

Frustrated, he turned his back on the vacuous platitudes propagated the by traditional 'way of life' philosophies that he had been taught to pursue, embrace, and tolerate (at significant personal cost) - Ari resolved to challenge the conflict & contradiction. The outcome of that struggle is the discovery of real Emotional Freedom and the two books FOREVER & ALWAYS that explain what that is and describe how you can acquire it.

Ari has never looked back - and neither will you...
