Group History: This group started out with a focus on INFP's only, but that was rather narrow, and the meetups were found to be ultimately more rewarding if any and all of the 16 types could interact.
These meetups are intended to be non-structured, informal and allow for maximum interaction between members. However, those who wish and feel qualified to give a presentation on a relevant topic, are welcome to schedule it in advance by contacting the organizer. Members frequently talk about subjects besides MBTI. The main topic of this Meetup serves more as a starting point for discussion rather than as an end in itself. People are free to mingle and talk with whomever they find interesting. All personality types are equally welcome. This is the place to be if you'd like to socialize with people who wish to understand themselves and other personalities better. Join us www.facebook.com/groups/331433710348657/

- FTI: 5 Simple Rules to Live a Better Life - A Conversation with Garrett LangLink visible for attendees
For today's meeting, we will gather to engage in an intellectual discussion group that promises to be as enriching as it is stimulating. The theme of our conversation will be "Five Simple Rules to Live a Better Life," a topic that I believe resonates with the continuous learning and growth we all aspire to.
Here are the five intentions that will guide our discussion:
- Utilizing reason to continually evolve into the best version of ourselves, seeking truth and fairness in our endeavors.
- Embracing transparency in our identity and beliefs, matched with a willingness to trust and an openness to challenge our perspectives with new, possibly conflicting ideas.
- Sharpening our critical thinking to ensure it becomes a reliable compass for sound decision-making.
- Striving to amplify happiness and reduce harm for ourselves and those within our sphere of influence.
- Recognizing our universal desire for love, fostering a readiness to both give and receive it, in all its forms.
Let’s discuss these 5 intentions in more detail, and discuss how we can use them in our daily lives. For those interested in practicing applying these intentions into their daily lives, you can always apply to be a member of the FTI (Currently free) where we practice doing just that.

EvSpeaker: Mr. Garrett Lang
Garrett Lang is the Founder and Executive Director of the Free Thinker Institute, a transformative community that blends personal development, ethical exploration, and practical education. Under his leadership, the Institute has grown into a vibrant space where individuals from all walks of life explore deep questions about purpose, ethics, and success in modern society. Garrett is the architect of the “5 Intentions,” a pioneering ethical code designed to foster unity and thoughtful decision-making in an increasingly divided world.
Through weekly events and curated peer mentorship programs, Garrett has built a platform that bridges philosophy with real-world application—empowering members to not only think deeply, but to act meaningfully. His approach to “practical philosophy” makes complex ideas actionable, helping people cultivate both personal growth and professional acumen in fields like product management, software development, and UX design.
A Cornell University graduate with over two decades of experience in technology leadership and entrepreneurship, Garrett continues to innovate at the intersection of values and systems. He brings the same rigor and visionary thinking that helped him double the operating margin of a 200-person company into his work at the Free Thinker Institute, demonstrating that thoughtful, ethical frameworks can be both aspirational and operational.
