The GuidePost is your antidote to doomscrolling. Our goal is simple: to curate ideas, stories, and context that help you navigate modern questions of identity, purpose, and belonging.

We believe there are time-tested ideas that help people and communities thrive. They get lost in the noise and chaos of our always-on digital world, but if you listen closely… the signal is still there.

We take overwhelming and polarized issues – cost of living, uncertainty about the future, career instability, and inequality – and connect them with ideas that have helped people build stable, thriving lives for generations. No politics. No lectures. Just perspective that clears the fog and helps you find the path to flourishing.

Some might put The GuidePost in the category of “civic education” but that would be incomplete. To understand the principles that build flourishing societies is to understand the virtues of personal responsibility and to put them into practice. Healthy societies require healthy – physically, mentally, morally healthy – citizens.

The future is not a game. There’s only one timeline, and you’re already shaping it. Your actions matter and will reverberate for eons. When you discover your purpose, connect with ideas that work, and build the confidence to speak up, you can help make the future healthier, more hopeful, and shape tomorrow’s flourishing society.

The GuidePost is a project of The Henry Knox Institute, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to advancing human flourishing.
