Perspective4-life, founded by Ryan Penny, is a platform focused on enhancing mental, emotional, physical, and relational well-being. It offers various services and tools to help individuals grow self-awareness and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
​Perspective4-life is built around Ryan's "Mind-Map" - a conceptual model of how people think, feel, live, learn, and grow. The Mind-Map serves to navigate the mental and emotional landscape that underlies our thought processes, decisions, and behaviors.
The goal is to provide a more accurate perspective of self, others, and the world so that we can reason our way to more reliable conclusions for better decisions. Perspective4-life emphasizes the value of self-control in putting those good decisions into action consistently enough to produce better outcomes, solid relationships, and generally more stable, useful, successful, and satisfying lives.
​
You can make better choices and have a more stable, successful, and satisfying life if you have a more accurate view of yourself, others, and the world as it is.

Testimonials
I saw Dr Ryan for the first time this summer with the intention of addressing my relationship with anger, more specifically, how I project the emotion through reacting poorly and shouting. This is something that I have been keen to address for some time, hoping to learn some techniques to control my emotions. In our first session I discovered something far more effective than a technique to control my anger, I managed to eradicate my temper overnight it seems.
Our discussion initially helped me to understand the process of emotion and why I reach the point of expressing the emotion the way I do. This was very helpful in opening my mind to the how and why, but this wasn’t the part that gave me the Eureka moment. This came when we explored the concept of responsibility and blame, only when I realised that the way I react to a stressful situation is not only something I can control, but it is my responsibility alone to control the way I behave did I realise that I already posses the power to change this myself. I have always tried to explain my anger by blaming others, using their behaviour as an excuse for my projected anger. Once I realised that my reactions are fully my responsibility and fully under my control, I realised that I can just as easily not get angry and not waste energy on reacting in a way that has no benefit to myself or those that are important to me. It sounds simple that when you realise that you may lose something or someone that is important to you due to the way you behave, you already have the tools and motivation to affect positive change.
It’s been quite a few weeks since that session and I feel great, profoundly different, and although I still feel the emotion, I’m now able to ‘not’ project it in the way I have for most of my life.
