Ideapod is a source of inspiration for people who see things differently. Our platform helps people to escape from societal and educational conditioning so they can live life on their own terms and turn ideas into reality.
Our platform promotes much more than a free exchange of ideas. We support people in building a deeper connection with themselves, others around them and society more broadly. We believe this helps to create the conditions for ideas to become meaningful and ultimately change the world.
Our online publishing platform has thousands of articles exploring the ideas shaping our world, reaching millions of people every month. We also provide online education programs providing our students with the knowledge and tools to break free from societal conditioning and live life on their own terms.
Thanks for stopping by to check out Ideapod. Since 2014 we’ve created a platform designed to be a source of inspiration for people wanting to escape from societal and educational conditioning so they can think for themselves and live life on their own terms. I’m particularly excited by our two new online journeys, Out of the Box and Developing Your Personal Power. Also, I can’t wait to launch the Filter Bubble Buster, a new search engine surfacing perspectives from around the web that liberate people from echo chambers. I’d love to meet you in our new social network, Ideapod Discussions or from signing up to our weekly newsletter.
The filter bubble is “a situation in which an Internet user encounters only information and opinions that conform to and reinforce their own beliefs, caused by algorithms that personalize an individual’s online experience.”
We’re building a search engine for perspectives that unite people from within seemingly disparate echo chambers.
Every weekend we share the best of Ideapod, curated with the help of our community. Some people say our newsletter helps to cultivate open-mindedness and curiosity about the world around them.
Out of the Box is created by Rudá Iandê and delivered by Ideapod Academy. It is a 16-week online workshop providing the knowledge and tools to escape from societal and education conditioning to live your life with a deeper connection with your true nature. Find out more about the impact Out of the Box will have on your life by watching the introductory video.

So much of our time here on Earth is wasted chasing away temporary happiness. We spend an entire month’s pay on cellphones we’ll forget next year. We miss important birthdays because of a job that doesn’t pay well enough. And we say yes to too many projects and no to personal projects that would make More
Every now and then you’ll come across a passage of writing that changes your entire perspective of life. For many years I was on the search for the truth about life as though someone could reveal it to me. Then I read the below passage by the Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. He perfectly explains why More
“Focus on the power of your thoughts and you will transform your reality.” Thousands of books, workshops and self-help gurus repeat the same mantra: “change your thoughts, change your life.” If only the mythical “law of attraction” worked for even half the people who tried it! We’d need a bigger Hollywood for all the positive More
Self-reflection is important but to what extent does it become too much? It seems the most persistent question we ask ourselves is: Am I happy? This question haunts us every day as we go about our lives. It seems to be a question that is fundamental to what it means to be human. However, psychology says More
Have you wondered what separates original thinkers from the rest? Some people say it’s I.Q. Other people say it’s confidence. But according to psychologist Adam Grant, it’s none of these things. In fact, he says that what really separates original thinkers is their habits. The best bit? We can all adopt these habits to be More
Some lucky people know their life purpose from an early age. Not me. For years, I searched for my purpose in life but could never figure it out. Then I realized that the way I was going about it was all wrong. You see, most people assume that a purpose is the same as a More
