Mavericks Score

Mavericks Score

Our "Mavericks Score" (= score for the Mavericks in this world) defines a system which aligns with mindfulness, personal growth, human rights, and eco-friendly principles. It can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and transformation.

The Maverick Score combines elements of both individuality and disciplined service, pulling from modern mindfulness teachings, the UN Charter of Human Rights, and the ancient Samurai/Bushido code. The goal is to cultivate both the inner strength needed for self-mastery and the responsibility toward others that true leadership and personal growth demand.

The Maverick Score Explained:

The Mavericks scoring system measures one's alignment with core values of a Maverick spirit, combining insights from mindfulness, modern Maverick behavior, and universal human values. Maverick's Cove understands itself as a holistic platform for personal development.

  • Balanced Life: A person scoring highly in this system doesn't just excel in personal achievement but also demonstrates care for their environment and community.
  • Holistic Growth: It’s not only about being a “Modern Maverick” who creates or innovates but also mastering oneself through discipline, mindfulness, and being a positive force in society.
  • Integration of Strengths: The blend of self-mastery, creativity, and leadership balances the focus between personal freedom and societal responsibility, integrating both modern psychological insights and traditional Eastern philosophies like Bushido.
    Our Maverick Score framework embraces a blend of the modern pursuit of freedom, creativity, and individuality while grounding it in the ancient wisdom of discipline, honor, and responsibility. This way, it appeals not only to strive for personal success but also to the commitment for societal growth and justice.
