As our world goes topsy turvy…here’s fantastic news for you to think about…
Our relentless, positive drive towards total holistic wellness, and being the best versions of us…pushes away unskilled behaviour [ ‘sin’ ]…removes obstacles in our path… cures any unwellness…transforms our ‘bad’ habits into far better ones…and creates far better futures for us all.
More great news: Here’s how we all maintain that drive towards our best selves…
- “We’re all tool-using creatures. So now we use new science, and vital new tools, to move us from the ‘stone age’ of our personal growth, development, transformation, and transcendence… towards a new age of renaissance, and rebirth.” - the STEEP Renaissance team.
- “When we use higher-order tools wisely… we transform us from impoverished human beings, into abundant humans becoming.” - another #Nevilleism.
- "The Black Death of the 14th century catalysed the Italian Renaissance. Now, global warming and the global Covid-19 pandemic pave the way for a modern renaissance. Recent advancements in technology, including new science, new energy sources, artificial intelligence, and mindware, offer unprecedented opportunities for innovation and personal-societal transformation." - the team at STEEP Renaissance.
- "Technology is the real enabler of human potential. It provides us with the tools to enhance our capabilities, solve complex problems, and push the boundaries of what's possible, ultimately leading to personal and societal growth." - Elon Musk, visionary entrepreneur known for founding and leading innovative companies that include Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company.
Truly remarkable, once
Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc, once said, “The computer is the most remarkable tool we've ever created. It's like a bicycle for our minds.”
At the time, Jobs was spot on. Especially as digital tools like the Internet, the web, search engines, cloud computing, mobile phones, and social media took off.
Now, it’s almost impossible for us to remember how stone age our analogue world was before it became digital.
And now another new age is on the way…
Now, now, now…when we amalgamate New Science, Mindware* tools, and Generative Artificial Intelligence with our digital hardware, software, walkware, and with our emerging new peopleware, and orgware… Then, Wowee…
We enter an even better, brighter age. The age of 4th and 5th Industrial Revolutions…and a new STEEP Renaissance. [STEEP stands for social-technological-ecological-economic-political].
Coming super-fast!
Be aware! These positive revolutions and STEEP Renaissance are coming fast, fast, fast.
Twenty-two months before December 2019, when the Covid-19 Pandemic started its insidious spread from Wuhan in China…Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, one of our younger heads of state… spoke at the elite World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland.
There, on January 22, 2018, he claimed, “Change has never been this fast, and it will never be this slow again.”
We agree. Do you? If yes, then what? If no, then what?
New chauffeurs
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools have suddenly become the self-driving vehicles for our personal and business transformation. Used collectively and collaboratively, AI tools take our minds, psyches, imaginations, and masteries to new, exciting places.
AI may not take over your job or business, but individuals and organisations partnering with AI will.
- a #Nevilleism.
Which is why, at STEEP Renaissance, we’ve adopted GAI as Mindware One.
For, wonder-fully! As we add life-changing ‘mindware’ tools, and the discoveries of new science, to our digital tools, and to GAI … we create the best opportunities ever in human history to:
- Transform our psyches
- Grow our brains out
- Become the best versions of us
- Build high value businesses with soul
- Extend the scope, and depth, of our loving relationships
- Create better futures for all
- Make real magic happen, as collaboratively we create the Renaissance.
New Science: Turns the Corner on our Human-ness
As for New Science, we do well to listen to one of Neville’s long-term mentors, the renowned trailblazer of human potential, and creator of much transformative mindware, Dr Jean Houston…
“With the present convergence of the findings of anthropology, cross-cultural studies, psychophysical research, and studies into the nature and function of brain, we are beginning to have in hand a perspective on human possibility as profound as it is provocative.
“This perspective allows us to turn the corner on our humanity, exploring and experiencing the astonishing complexity and variety of the world of the possible human.
“It is virtually a new introduction to the human race.”
- Jean Houston, ‘ The Possible Human’
Now that’s Real Magic.

Can we do it, together?
The STEEP Renaissance team says, “Of course we can - working collaboratively.” And Margaret Mead agrees. This influential American cultural anthropologist known for her studies of Oceania cultures in transition, and her work in understanding human behaviour across cultures, shouts:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

STEEP Insight 0006: Make Curiosity Your Daily Habit
Curiosity doesn’t kill the cat. It gives her nine lives. You too!
- a #Nevilleism.
In a world, full of information overload, and where, paradoxically, we are supposedly dumbing down…curiosity is a mindset, skill, and a set of practices…with HUGE pay-offs.
As you systematically stimulate your curiosity. you nurture a sense of wonder, and a desire to keep exploring and discovering. And you do!
No need to be bored or boring.
Programmed curiosity drives you to explore new ideas, ask questions, and seek out new experiences. By staying curious, you keep your mind active, foster continuous learning, and open yourself up to new opportunities and innovations. Your curiosity stops you from being bored. And, worse, boring.
No wonder then, here at STEEP Renaissance we claim that you embracing curiosity mindware, leader you to a deeper understanding of the world around you… and to your ongoing learning and growth.
A great example
At the end of his amazing Stanford address, Steve Jobs said, "Stay hungry, stay foolish."
This phrase encapsulates his advice to remain curious, open to new experiences, and always eager to learn and grow, regardless of where life takes you.

STEEP Insight 0008: Focus on Purpose and Intentionality
“The purpose of life is to create a life of purpose.” - Richard J Leider.
This meme is both trite and profound. Various philosophies, spiritual traditions, and God Squads, argue back and forth about whether Life has any Purpose at all… except to be born, die, and muddle along the best we can, in between. Or to claim the Purpose of Life is to “love God and enjoy her forever” - so our real life exists beyond the grave.
We’re clear. Based on psychological research, we maintain there are profound, innate, purposes for this life…which we can choose to live to, or not In addition we gain heaps by creating our own set of Purposes… like, for example… [Go on. Fill in the blanks…].
To these options, we add the huge pay-offs we gain as we live, love, and work with Intention and align our evolution with our True Self… and with the values vital to us.
