Our mission is to help you be the best, most Heroic version of yourself so we can change the world together—one person at a time, starting with you and us today. Early research shows that Heroic can significantly boost your energy, productivity and connection in just minutes per day. Based on a pilot study of over 1,000 Heroic members conducted in partnership with leading experts in the field of positive psychology and human flourishing, members who hit 3+ targets per day self-reported gains of, on average, a 40% increase in energy, a 20% increase in productivity, and a 15% increase in connection. Again, in less than 3 minutes on the app per day for just 30 days. The app integrates the absolute best of ancient wisdom and modern behavioral science to help you move from theory to practice to mastery and consistently do the things you already know you could be doing to close the gap between who you’re capable of being and who you’re actually being—not someday but TODAY. Our members say it best. Check out the 5-star reviews for how they describe their experience and how quickly the app becomes a key part of their daily routine. Here are a few of our favorites: “It is literately changing my life. I can feel the change every day.” - Ryan T “I use it everyday for only a few minutes but of all the apps on my phone those minutes are the most productive and effective for me to work on showing up at my best.” - Billy B “An epic resource for up leveling your energy, work and love!” - Sarah Maxfield “I dare you to not have your life flipped on its head (in the best possible ways) by using this app!” - Gary W “Can I give it 6 stars? 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.
