The Secret to Attorney Wellness: “Know Thyself”
Know Thyself (γνῶθι σεαυτόν, gnōthi seauton) is the most famous maxim inscribed at the ancient Greek Temple of Apollo in Delphi. Visitors came to consult with the Pythia, a High Priestess, who served as a channel to speak divine wisdom. Visitors were instructed to first understand their human limitations, mortality, and character, in order to fulfill their destiny. This stands true today for attorneys seeking personal and professional success. “Know Thyself” was foundational to Socratic philosophy, focusing on inner wisdom over external knowledge. This saying is traditionally said to have originated with the Seven Sages, a legendary group of philosophers and community leaders from the 6th century BCE, who collectively authored this important maxim.
Fast forward to you, an attorney, pursing your career. Job satisfaction is low, and public opinion is lower. Overworking, burn out, hostile office culture, family stress, substance use disorders and mental health challenges are common.
Attorneys need help, and confidentiality. Actualis was created by Mark C. Daly, a 25 year veteran immigration attorney. Actualis is committed to helping attorneys feel good and enjoy life.

ACTUALIS helps you actualize wellness as an attorney in the fundamental areas of Leadership, Management, Finances, Physical Health or Mental Health. Wherever you are in your career, most attorneys experience deep internal conflicts when it comes to creating more wellness, balance and mastery in their careers. For example, one part of you will say “I need 8 hours of sleep every night” and another part of you says “If I just grind it out for another 2 hours everything will be just fine”. In order to truly “Know Thyself”, we need to know the numerous “selves” that participate in our thought processes. Actualis uses coaching and training techniques based in Neuroscience, Psychology, Organizational Development and Wisdom Traditions to show you why these types of internal conflicts will keep you from taking the necessary steps to create wellness for yourself. All of our courses give you an opportunity to have a transformational experience and take actions that promote your wellness.
