Think Higher Live BetterYou have read books. Have you ever walked into one?
Open an Immersive Reader and the book comes to meet you.
The cover art becomes a living map. Touch any part of it and you step straight into that chapter. Flames rise beside the page, light moves behind the words, and every book has its own sound and its own music.
Before the temple, before the frame, there is the work. You are tired of reacting your way through life. This is where it stops: a raw, honest look at the ego, where it comes from, how it runs you, and how to take the pen back. Part reflection, part verse. Written not by a guru but by a common man who examined his own ego and decided to change.

Step Inside
The book opens from The Heart, a heart of embers. Turn on the sound and a fire burns low and crackles beside you as you move through all ninety-nine pieces, by day or by night.
Tap the note and Chopin's Nocturnes play in full, close, quiet piano for honest work on yourself.
Make It Yours
Highlight the line that cuts closest and watch it catch fire. Carry it to your Ember Board, beside your own notes, photos, links and PDFs, and watch the pattern of your own ego take shape on one wall. Keep the Companion Journal and write what each piece pulled out of you.
Read it slowly. Argue with it. Let it do its work.

You know the person you want to be. The pressure, the praise and the pull of the world keep moving you off it. Temple is the blueprint for an inner life that holds. Six daily practices: Examine. Pause. Stand. Organize. Serve. Account. They show you how to stop being run by the ego you inherited and build the good one, on purpose, brick by brick. This is not self-help. It is behavior change.

Step Inside
Turn on the sound and a bell rings for every letter of the title. Then watch the temple rise. Every chapter builds it from the ground up, stone by stone. On every teaching page a torch climbs on each side of the header and bursts into flame, and the fire crackles while you read. The book opens on Seven Columns, and The Daily Six waits one tap away, ready every morning. At every Sit With This, the golden lion comes down to sit with you, and modern up and down lights with a Roman torch flame stand beside the page.
Tap the note and hour-long ambient pieces play in full: calm, open, unhurried. Music to lay stones by.

Highlight a line, watch it catch fire, and send it to your Whiteboard. Pin your notes, photos and links beside it until your blueprint is on one wall. Keep the Companion Journal and record every brick you lay.

It is three in the morning and you are lying awake, running the movie of your life. You have been performing the life the world rewards. The Next Frame is about taking the pen back. Through self-knowledge, self-conviction and the daily practice of the weave, it shows you how to live deliberately, frame by frame, instead of reacting your way to the end.

Twelve Frames open from the map. Walk the corridor and watch it come alive around you. The eye of the tiger sweeps the page in black, green and gold, two modern lights stand beside it, and the tiger's eye flies down to every Sit With This. Turn on the sound and a low, steady drone settles under the page while you read.
Tap the headphones and a voice reads the book aloud with you, sentence by sentence. Tap the note and quiet modern piano plays in full, moving forward one frame at a time.
Make It Yours
Highlight the line that stops you and watch it catch fire. Send it to your Whiteboard, then build the picture of the life you are choosing with notes, photos and links. Keep the Companion Journal and write each frame as you live it.
The next frame is not written yet. You hold the pen.

You have watched leaders perform integrity in the town hall and trade it away in the strategy room. You refuse to be one of them. The Built Leader turns the six practices of Temple toward leadership: examine, pause, stand, organize, serve, account. It is for the person who will not mistake being in charge for being a leader.

Seven Stones open from the map. Every practice comes alive on the page. On PAUSE, a single drop hangs in the air, falls, and the stillness spreads in rings. On STAND, a stone pillar holds in the storm while the wind passes. On ACCOUNT, the scale comes level and the gap in the ledger closes. Turn on the sound and hear it. The page follows the seasons. On a wide screen two lighthouse lights shine up and down beside the page, and at every Sit With This the lighthouse floats down to stand watch beside you.
Tap the note and quiet modern piano plays in full, building without hurry. Five-Minute Sessions make the practice a habit: read for a minute or three, practice for sixty seconds, close with one line to carry into the room.

The book opens on a peacock fan. Touch a feather and you are in that chapter. Krishna's chariot rolls across the page, wheel turning, horses running. Arjuna's flaming arrows cut through the dark. Five-wick lamps burn beside every page while half-mandalas glow in the margins, and a great gong blooms and rolls away as you move through the eighteen chapters. At every Sit With This, a peacock comes down to sit with you while you read.
Press play and temple kirtans to Hari play in full while you read. Turn on the rising lights and choose their color. Read late with Eye Comfort, from a blue-light filter to amber night.

The 11 Principal Upanishads, Rendered for the Modern Reader
What is the Self. What is real. What in you does not die. The forest sages of India asked these questions three thousand years ago, and you are still asking them at three in the morning. Here are all eleven principal Upanishads in plain modern English, devotional and reverent, readable at your kitchen table.

Step Inside
Every Upanishad has its own door on the opening map. Walk through one and the sun climbs from the horizon, then pulses and glows. Candles burn beside every reading page. A temple bell rings deep and bright. A singing bowl is struck softly. Two birds sing in the branches. A page turns on a breath of air. At every Sit With This, the golden bird flies down and opens in its radiance.
Press play and morning and evening kirtans play in full, music for the dawn. Turn on the rising lights, blue, gold or both, as faint or as blazing as you want, with the soft hiss of rain and the crackle of embers underneath.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Rendered for the Modern Reader

The book opens on the Four Books of the Sutras. Choose one and walk its threads in order. Read at Dawn or by Night in the glow of diya flames you dim, brighten or recolor yourself.

1mission: kindness
Scott Stojetz spent nearly thirty years in medical device sales, most of them at the top of his field: nineteen years at Medtronic in neurologic technologies and five at Globus selling surgical robotics for spine and cranial surgery. He built and led from the middle that entire time, always a careful observer of leadership and of his peers, ultimately turning the lens on himself to understand the patterns of human behavior. Those years on the front lines earned him a degree in real life social science, and one thread held throughout: a person’s work matters only to the degree of meaning it has for them. That conviction is why he founded Lotus Medical, a serve-before-we-sell company that brings the most advanced regenerative biologics and fixation to the surgeons and patients of his own community in Northeast Ohio.
He is a yogi in the tradition of Paramahansa Yogananda, a former wrestler and wrestling coach, and the author of books on intentional behavior change, The Work, Temple, The Next Frame and The Built Leader, along with plain-English renderings of the world's wisdom literature. He does not consider himself a self-help writer. He is a behavior-change advocate who teaches people how to thrive because he was taught how to thrive: by words on pages, by the practice of meditation, and by living his life frame by frame.
Everything here moves in one direction: people toward meaning. The books, the courses and the renderings are all built to drive character, ethics and integrity back upstream, from the common man up. He builds human temples: selves steady enough to hold their ground and generous enough to lift the room.
Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, Lake Catholic and then Ohio University, Scott lives in Aurora with his wife, Jamie, the love of his life and the truest person in his circle, inside a big, loud, wonderful blended family: his daughter, Mackenzie; his three sons, Seth, Greyson and Jace; his stepchildren, Samantha, Jack and Tyler; and three grandchildren, Naomi, Bailey and Lincoln. He lives by a simple code: be kind and tell the truth. His trophies are in a box in the garage.
A temple is not built to be admired. It is built to be walked. You cannot lead what you have not built yourself.Pull up a chair. Let's do the work.
