You know what your best looks like. Be it, every day.
The best wisdom ever written, one idea at a time, made into something you do before the day starts, with a score that tells you the truth. $18 a month, $59 with live coaching from people who hold the same standard. Seven days free.
You've done the reading. The doing is harder.
You could give the talk on one-on-ones and still cancel yours three weeks running when the quarter gets busy. That's the week Heroic is built for. A thirty-minute practice that fits inside it, and a coach who asks on the next call whether you ran it.
It counts what you did
Heroic OS asks whether you kept today's three commitments. The score only moves when the answer is yes.
One Note a day comes to you
Six pages or a twenty-minute listen, with the next one chosen for where you are. 750+ in the library.
The coaching happens live
OS+ members join group coaching calls and bring whatever they're stuck on.
It takes a baseline on day one
Eight statements, rated 1 to 10, adapted from Diener's Flourishing Scale. You take it again later and compare.
It gives you a protocol
You write down what you do when you're at your best. You practice it when things are fine so you can run it when they aren't.
A daily practice, a score, and a protocol for when it goes wrong.
What leaders report by day thirty.
Leaders in OS+ and the Accelerator report the changes in roughly the same order. Their teams usually notice before the leader does.
- 01 Where it starts
They know what good looks like and don't do it consistently under pressure.
- 02 About thirty days in
The morning runs on its own. The one-on-ones are back on the calendar. The scores have started to move.
- 03 Later
Decisions stop waiting on one person. Meetings run calmer.
The practice, and the coach.
The daily practice in Heroic OS, the coaching in OS+. Most people start with both.
Heroic OS, the daily practice
Four minutes in the morning, today's three commitments, one Philosopher's Note, and three minutes at night. It asks what you did.
Heroic OS+ adds the coach
The live coaching calls, Bri.ai, and the ten-hour Heroic Basic Training. $59 a month or $499 a year.
Where the thirty minutes go.
The simple morning start
Open Heroic OS before the day starts, take in the +1 (read, watch, or listen), and set three commitments you can finish today.
The work break
One Philosopher's Note: six pages or a twenty-minute listen, one idea worth trying before dinner. New ones weekly.
The support
Bri.ai is the AI coach inside OS+, trained on Brian's Notes and the Heroic method. Ask it how to apply the day's idea to whatever you're dealing with. When you need a person, bring it to the live coaching calls.
The reflection
Three minutes at night on what you did and what you learned. A miss gets written down as a lesson.
Bri.ai, the live coaching calls, and Basic Training come with OS+. The practice and the library come with both.
Twenty years of reading, compressed.
Brian has spent two decades reading the best books ever written on living well and distilling each one into six pages you can finish in a sitting. He writes every one himself.
One idea from the right book, today, chosen by someone who read all of them.
The practice, then the proof.
Three moves, repeated every month.
Practice
Thirty minutes, most days. Small enough that a bad week only costs you a bad week.
Measure
The Performance & Flourishing Score is eight statements, one per facet of the Heroic Model, each rated 1 to 10. You take it in week one and again later, then compare the two.
Adjust
Whichever facet came in lowest gets next month. Pick one practice for it, run it, and retake the score when the month is over.
“Larger than I had ever witnessed in my own 35 years of research.”
On the record.
Three readers of the Notes.
“If you're looking to supercharge your quest to cultivate a deep life, Philosopher's Notes is where I'd start.”
“Heroic is the best self-development platform in the world.”
“I've been following Brian's work for years. His Philosopher's Notes and practical wisdom have helped me grow as a leader, and helped our team build the clarity, discipline, and antifragility to perform at our best, on and off the field.”
Started by Brian, with a community of coaches.
Founded January 2020 by Brian Johnson, as a Public Benefit Corporation. Brian has written the Philosopher's Notes for twenty years. Michael Balchan, CEO and Head Coach, leads a community of 10,000+ certified coaches.

01 What if I miss days?
Then you miss days. The score only moves on real actions, so it stalls rather than punishing you, and nothing resets to zero.
02 Is there a free trial?
Yes. Seven days, free, on both Heroic OS and OS+. You enter a card when you start it, nothing is charged until day eight, and you can cancel from your account settings any time before then. Cancel inside the seven days and you pay nothing.
03 What's the difference between Heroic OS and OS+?
Heroic OS is the practice and the library, $18 a month or $149 a year. OS+ is the same practice with the coaching added, which means the live coaching calls, Bri.ai, and Basic Training. $59 a month or $499 a year.
Tomorrow morning.
Thirty minutes tomorrow. Your first score the same day. The first coaching call comes after that. The first seven days cost nothing.
