How it all started, and what continues to inspire us today.
Over ten years ago, we wrote The Holstee Manifesto — our own definition of success. Today the words of the Manifesto continue to inspire us and our work.






The Holstee Manifesto
In 2009, the Holstee Manifesto took form as a bold letterpress poster designed by Rachael Beresh. It quickly became a viral sensation, with the Washington Post dubbing it "The Next Just Do It."
Thanks to our worldwide community, the Manifesto has since been translated into 13 languages, including Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Hebrew, and Arabic. The incredible response continues to humble and inspire us, proving that with genuine positive intentions, anything is possible.

Go beyond the Holstee Manifesto.
The ideas laid out in the Holstee Manifesto aren’t a goal, they are a practice. To bring the ideas of the Manifesto into our lives we developed the Holstee Membership.
Our monthly membership helps conscious people (like you!) live a more meaningful life through actionable guides, inspiring live events, thought-provoking content, and a like-minded community.
Beautiful Cards
These are very nice cards, embossed on heavy duty paper--some that could be framed and hung or placed on a desk--which is what I did. I look forward to giving them to my family and friends.
Conversation Starters
I’m a fan of asking questions to learn about people and the Holstee Relfection cards helped spur conversations I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I’ve given a few decks as gifts to friends who enjoy conversations. We don’t think about conversation as a skill we can improve but the Holstee cards will help. And you’ll learn a lot about then people you use it with and also the ones who don’t want to use it.
What a beauty!
The whole experience of puchasing was excellent. I forgot to take my member discount and that was caught and corrected by Holstee. The sweatshirt is great - beautiful and a great conversation starter! It is a little longer than I would have liked, but it is fine and I think that is fairly common with unisex sizing. It will get lots of use! Thanks. Mary
