Explore Ontological Coaching: The Art of Being. Learn how the study of being drives personal transformation by shifting who you are, not just what you do.
Most of us spend our lives focused on the 'what'—the actions we take and the results we get. But what if the real bottleneck isn't what you’re doing, but who you are being while you do it?
I would like to learn more about ontological coaching.
Ontological coaching is often described as the study of being, derived from the Greek words 'ontos' and 'ology.' Unlike traditional coaching that focuses solely on actions and results, this approach examines the 'operating system' of an individual. It explores the heart of who a person is being while they perform tasks, aiming to address the underlying bottlenecks that prevent long-term personal transformation and behavioral change.
While many people focus on productivity habits and hitting targets, ontological coaching suggests that the real bottleneck is often our way of being. It moves beyond just 'doing' the right things to understanding why we see the world the way we do. By focusing on the study of being, individuals can address deep-seated frustrations and reactions that surface under pressure, leading to more sustainable personal transformation than simple software-like habit upgrades.
The flashlight analogy describes how humans perceive objective truth. Imagine walking through a dark room with a flashlight strapped to your head; you believe you are seeing the entire room, but you are actually only seeing where your specific beam of light hits. Ontological coaching helps individuals realize that their perspective is limited to their own 'circle of light,' fostering greater self-awareness and opening up new possibilities for how they see the world.

Seriously I haven’t even explored this app fully yet but from using it the last few days I am so impressed... BeFreed is on a different level from any other learning app I have used. This makes it ultra engaging and can actually improve your concentration which is great for all the doom scrollers!
@ladyInfinity
I bought BeFreed exactly 23 days ago, and I have used it every single day since. It has completely embedded itself into my daily workflow and learning habit.
@jayallen
The truth is, the app has exceeded all my expectations. I can ask it to generate audio on any topic, whatever it may be, and the result is impressive. My professional field is a specialization in psychotherapy and it is multidisciplinary; however, the answers are very accurate.
@Raguipa
What I appreciate most is how much it's reduced my scrolling – I'm spending less time searching and more time absorbing information. The combination of full audiobooks, podcasts, the learning plans are brilliant.
@colonyofcreatorsNGO
I have been a PhotoReading Accelerated Learning Instructor for the past 24 years... books and reading and learning are my thing, and BeFreed has done a great job in providing an innovative approach to disseminating and delivering information in an easy to consume way.
@BeFreed user
It is not just a book summary app, I have used the 'fun reading' option and it's a much better summary and way to grasp ideas the traditional way, that alone is worth this deal.
@austinakon
I love this app. Used it for several days and I cannot stop listening. Such a great way to start.
@jcrules328
I really like the program; I have already tested it for around one month, and I feel that it's an amazing gem. It works so well because I can use BeFreed to create my own topics, and the voice is so good with unlimited choice of narrations.
@DanielCZ
I love the fact that I can get useful, condensed, information and ideas in a 8 - 15 minute podcast style audio. I'm not a general fan of podcasts because of all the fluff, but this cuts through all that.
@BeFreed user
I am finishing up my doctorate, and have to read a lot of unfamiliar material... With BeFreed, you simply enter a prompt, and the app finds source material for you and generates an audio podcast. I find the process in BeFreed to be more streamlined than NotebookLM.
@Brad
I often search YouTube for something to listen to whilst making breakfast, when I'm out walking, commuting, etc, and BeFreed has provided an even more targeted approach, without the adverts and the fluff!
@BeFreed user
The absolute best part about this platform is its versatility. There is literally no subject that is off-topic. It handles whatever you throw at it... It is rare to find an learning tool with zero limitations that actually delivers on its promises.
@jayallen
BeFreed is fantastic. The user-friendly design means I spend less time navigating and more time learning. The mix of audiobooks, podcasts, and learning plans is a genius combo that has completely changed my daily routine.
@BeFreed user
At the start I needed a while to understand how to create podcasts in italian language and boom! It is so great! I can ask to explain every argument and it does so well and so smartly!
@matteo77
BeFreed has become my daily app for audio books tools... What I like the most is the way you put your text and come with an audio that you can listen on the go.
