What Is Foolish Wisdom?

“Foolish Wisdom is about experiencing and dealing with the world in ways you have not before.”

• Joseph Riggio, Ph.D.

Foolish Wisdom is an intimate, semi-private transformational workshop developed by Dr. Joseph Riggio in New Jersey. It offers participants a rare opportunity to experience the powerful Mythogenic Self Process methodology that Dr. Riggio has been developing and refining since 1990. This workshop provides direct access to Joseph’s expertise in a small group setting, allowing for personalized attention at a fraction of the cost of his private sessions.

The Mythogenic Self Process: A Proven Methodology

• Break through intractable challenges
• Overcome feelings of being lost or stuck
• Develop new perspectives for experiencing life events
• Build positively-oriented mental frameworks
• Access sustainable motivation for meaningful action
• Make decisions aligned with their authentic selves

The distinguishing feature of Dr. Riggio’s Foolish Wisdom approach is its focus on transformational change rather than temporary emotional relief.

2017 Foolish Wisdom: Enhanced Methodology

A Personal Note From Joseph:

“Hey I want to take a moment to directly thank you for considering the 2017 Foolish Wisdom workshop. This program represents significant advancements in my methodologies, even compared to previous Foolish Wisdom offerings.

My approach has evolved in three key ways:

1. Return to Storytelling Roots: I’ve returned to using stories and metaphors as primary mechanisms for provoking transformational change—whether you’re in the room, viewing via simulcast, or watching recordings. This conversational approach creates powerful shifts.
2. Integrated Developmental Modeling: I’ve woven fifteen years of developmental research (drawing from Clare Graves, Jane Loevinger, Robert Kegan, Jerome Kagan, and Dudley Lynch) into a comprehensive framework that informs everything I do professionally.
3. Neurocognitive Research Integration: The MythoSelf Process now incorporates cutting-edge neurocognitive research as it applies to transformational change. In our work together, you’ll literally feel your mind changing as we reconfigure the mechanisms you use to construct your worldview.

At its core, this work is about getting unstuck from what’s limited you and designing a future precisely aligned to who you are and what’s uniquely possible for you.”

The Group Experience Advantage

In Dr. Riggio’s professional opinion, the power of group settings for transformational work cannot be overestimated. He regularly invites his private clients and members of his high-end Private Access programs to attend these Foolish Wisdom workshops because:

“There is no other format where you can so powerfully and potently experience the effect of change on yourself and others than in a group setting.”

The Foolish Wisdom approach creates a uniquely supportive environment where participants witness not only their own transformation but also the transformation of others, creating a powerful multiplier effect.
