Transform the challenging circumstances in your life !

Through the Living at the Edge program, Burt (father) and Max (son) Woolf
offer you a creative framework for living life fully, regardless of the challenging circumstances you are facing. Our goal is to guide you along a path of personal transformation by providing you with the tools and a support system to sustain you on your journey. During the program, you will be introduced to the 8 Principles for Quality of Life. You will create a personalized action plan to address those principles on which you need to work most. Perhaps most importantly, you will connect with a supportive community of like-minded people who encourage each other with a vigor and zest for living!

What are challenging circumstances?

Whether or not the stuff that happens in our life is significant and life-changing, or small and inconsequential, we tend to react to all situations out of unconscious habits constructed from past experience. We may think we are responding appropriately, but when those habitual patterns don’t work anymore, our response can become dysfunctional. The resulting consternation and misdirection keeps us from living life fully. That’s when life’s circumstances become challenging.

Our Living at the Edge Programs will transform your experience of challenging circumstances, so that you can live a purposeful life, in harmony and at peace with the world around you.

What is living at the edge?

We all live within a box of possibilities whose edge is formed by inner judgments, attitudes and beliefs. When you are conscious at every moment of these patterns and habits of mind, you expand the box, and experience a sense of heightened satisfaction and fulfillment. With an expanded box of possibilities, you will better understand how to face life’s challenges with a positive attitude, a mindset for success, and optimum capacity for performance and achievement!

Our Living at the Edge Programs will reinvigorate your passion for living and cultivate your personal vision and destiny.

How did this program come about?

Twenty-seven years ago, Max’s birth mother (Burt's first wife) was diagnosed with terminal cancer in the sixth month of her pregnancy with him. She hung on to life so Max could be born, and she died three weeks later. In 2006, Max had a revelation about the miracle of his life, and began to share a profound message of personal resilience in the face of dramatic life circumstances. When he looked for a way to convey this message of transformation to others, he realized that his father had developed a seminar series on the very same topics, as a vehicle to address his own grief over the life-changing loss of his first wife. Now, together, Max and Burt are presenting their story and program to help you achieve your full potential, regardless of the challenging life circumstances – big or small - that YOU may be facing.
