Ubiquitous Relativity

by Ian Winer

Overview

Not one truth fits all sizes. Seven billion people on one planet, each living in their own universe. One man's journey from West Point to Wall Street to Anonymity asking the Everlasting Question: How can I gain a greater sense of purpose in life through an improved connection to other people? In Ubiquitous Relativity: My Truth is Not the Truth, Ian Winer's philosophy lays a fresh roadmap for anyone searching for a more meaningful life by examining the senses and emotions unique to each of us and challenging our long-held beliefs about the world and everyone in it by pausing on our own judgements.

Ian invites each of us to take a leap of faith into the unknown, the uncomfortable, and the unfamiliar. Revealing how surviving an abusive household in childhood incorrectly informed him of a world that was limited and confined... in confronting his own truth, he opened up to the possibilities that everyone possesses their own truth revealing the twofold illusion of universality. The first illusion is that people sense the world in exactly the same way. The second illusion is that people react emotionally to those senses in precisely the same expectation. Ubiquitous Relativity considers a less conventional way, yet simplistic testament, to make a difference in the world - a world that can be less frightening and more hopeful.

About the Author

Ian Winer connects people to the truth of market places and human behavior. His unique approach to analyzing and predicting outcomes is built on his philosophy of Ubiquitous Relativity, a phrase he coined in 2016 after a chance encounter picking his nose at a stop light. In the world of finance, every major publication from CNBC to The Wall Street Journal to Bloomberg relies on Winer as a regular on-air contributor. His trademark offering is a source of fun and entertaining insight into markets that, more often than not, are born from his uniquely non-consensus thinking.

At the heart of Winer's Ubiquitous Relativity philosophy, which he credits for his success, is the ability to "push pause on judgement" and focus on the fun of the human experience in every piece of analysis. He was so moved by this philosophy that he decided to leave a career in finance after 22 years to pursue it in greater detail. In other words, he decided it was time to "walk the walk."

A West Point graduate, Winer was the first United States Military Academy graduate to play in the Division 1 Ice Hockey All-Star game. Both the military and his Ice Hockey had conditioned him to take the order, reflecting the old adage Mine is not to question why, mine is to do or die. But this approach to life began to change, as the truth behind why things happen and how the truth as he knew it was not necessarily the truth of the universe. A survivor of abuse, addiction, and fear based living, Winer spent his early years searching for the answer to life's major question of Can I make a difference in this life? An epiphany in the form of Ubiquitous Relativity changed his entire perception of the world. Living through multiple boom and bust cycles and personally going from penthouse to outhouse, Winer's story is one of rising from the ashes where we can all take heed.
