I’ve been reading and listening to personal development and self-help all my life. But Heroic is where it ALL came together. It was an aha moment. Now, I can truly see how to do and act as my best self in order to give to others in love and service. Thank you for changing the direction of my life!” - The Bench Officer “THIS IS THE WAY… to becoming the best version of you!!! Echoing what other reviewers have said, this app is truly remarkable! It is impressively powerful, while simple and practical to implement. I waited a few weeks to review. Now that I’ve been using it daily on a consistent basis, I can attest, there is immense power in daily review and commitment to your “Big 3x2” heroic identity, virtues, and action targets, in the areas of Energy, Work and Love. Then being able to recheck the app during the day as you hit your targets. POWERFUL!!! The intro video, as well as built in guidance/suggestions are great, making the app easy to use. And the “Basic Training” video series provides a super accessible and motivating coursework to discover the science and philosophy underlying the tools. Finally, being a brand new app, I’m impressed with the build. Beautiful graphics and flow - zero bugs or glitches. Clearly developed by experienced pros on a mission to change the world.” - J_Stratus Heroic is powered by Heroic Public Benefit Corporation, a world-class company with a mission: create a world in which 51% of humanity is flourishing by the year 2051.
