Autonomy and Life is a “30 year experiment” devoted to nothing less than self-transformation. Arnold Siegel’s powerful construct offers an artful technology that, when fully embraced, will change your life for the better. Developed over the course of Siegel’s two decades in the business world, and fully expressed with the founding of Autonomy and Life, this carefully designed body of intelligence
deals with the interconnection of life, the ego and modern society. Drawing on such varied subjects as philosophy, history, social science, political science and other disciplines, it provides you with the intellectual and practical resources you need to live a fully actualized life of your own making. Arnold Siegel’s life’s work is empowering his students to live fully actualized, completely autonomous lives of their own making. Since the 1980s, he has touched the lives of thousands of students, many of whom return again and again to discover additional applications for Autonomy and Life’s artful technology and continue their journeys to self-transformation. Autonomy and Life’s technology disrupts old patterns of being while shedding light on why we continue to think and feel the way that we do even when it does not serve us. This disruption provides a unique opening for self-transformation, giving you the ability to be the artist of your life like never before. Siegel says it best: “When you understand who you are and your connection to the world, the possibilities for your life are endless.”
Autonomy and Life’s blog, used by Arnold Siegel as an unfettered and unfiltered conduit for his thoughts and insights, is free and open to the public. Please, take a few minutes to read through its posts at, which date back to 2009. You’re sure to find ideas that tickle your fancy, stir your thoughts, and — perhaps — inspire you to action. If you’d like to learn more about Autonomy and Life, and discover how you can transform your life into something truly of your own making, we invite you to apply to The Planning Workshop. Held twice annually over Zoom, The Planning Workshop is a three-day deep dives into the technology and intelligence that define Autonomy and Life. Siegel personally leads every Planning Workshop. Once you’re ready to take the next step in your self-transformation, Siegel offers Advanced Classes. The Advanced Class is held in eight weekend sessions over a 10-month period from January to October. These two-day classes, all led by Siegel himself, explore various facets of autonomy with an eye to guiding intermediate and advanced students along their respective paths to self-actualization.
