Frederic Bahnson

Helping people clarify meaningful goals and achieve them.

Through books, apps, frameworks, and direct work with people, I help individuals and groups trade uncertainty for intentional action.

Start Anywhere

The Book, the Apps, and the Work

A practical, research-grounded framework for making better decisions about what to pursue.

A framework for naming your real priorities and keeping them in sight every day.

A strength training app that sets each day's targets from your own tested maxes.

One-on-one coaching, talks, and occasional work with teams. The most direct version of what I do.

"Fred Bahnson's insights have guided me in my success in a challenging and competitive field while balancing that with my personal life."

— Ryan, cardiothoracic surgeon, husband, and father

I've spent two decades studying decision-making: how we choose what to pursue, and how to get better at choosing.

By day, I work as a surgeon. I've found just as much meaning helping people outside the operating room figure out what they're working toward.
