Hello, I'm Frederic

I've spent the last two decades exploring a question that fascinates me: how do we build lives that actually align with what matters to us? Not what we're told should matter, or what looks good from the outside—but what genuinely creates meaning and satisfaction for each of us as individuals.

This curiosity has taken me down some interesting paths. I've studied the science of decision-making, worked with people one-on-one as a coach, spoken to student groups about finding their direction, and written a book distilling what I've learned into a practical framework anyone can use.

For my "day job," I work as a surgeon. It might seem like an unusual combination, but I've found that both roles—surgeon and coach—share a common thread: helping people navigate important decisions and move toward better outcomes.

What I've discovered is that most people don't struggle because they lack motivation or discipline. They struggle because they're unclear about what they're actually working toward. Once that clarity emerges, everything else becomes easier—not easy, but easier.

Through my book Better Than Destiny, the BetterDays framework, and my work with individuals and groups, I help people move from uncertainty to intentional action—building lives that reflect what truly matters to them.
