Building Your Life from the Inside Out Will Transform Everything

The journey to true fulfilment begins with internal work rather than external achievement. This powerful message emerged clearly during our conversation with Jacopo Iasiello, a Naples-born entrepreneur who transformed his life through what he calls the MPBE method: Meditation, Pray, Biohacking, and Exercise.

If you don’t grow, you die. This is how it’s like work, and every time I read some book I realize it’s something important. A lot of books they are theory, but I don’t like theory. I like something concrete to put in action the next day.

What strikes most about Jacopo’s story is how familiar it feels to many successful entrepreneurs. Despite achieving remarkable business success—building multiple companies and completing over 350 real estate transactions—he found himself feeling empty inside. This crisis point became the catalyst for his transformation. As he explains, “If you want to create external abundance, you need to first create the internal part.” This philosophy forms the foundation of his bestselling book “Healthy, Rich and Happy,” which documents his journey and methodology.

The MPBE method represents a systematic approach to building internal abundance before pursuing external success. Jacopo begins each day with Transcendental Meditation, setting intentions for what he wishes to accomplish. This practice allows him to enter a flow state where creativity and inspiration naturally emerge. He follows this with prayer and visualization, combining spiritual connection with clear mental imagery of his goals and desired outcomes. This two-step morning routine has transformed not only his business results but also his relationships and overall life satisfaction.

What differentiates Jacopo’s approach from many self-help methodologies is his emphasis on balance across all life domains. He identifies twelve key aspects of life—including friendship, love, family, business, and career—that must remain in alignment. When one area receives disproportionate attention, discrepancies create internal tension regardless of external success. This holistic view explains why many financially successful people still experience profound unhappiness; they’ve neglected critical dimensions of their human experience.

Throughout our conversation, Jacopo emphasized the importance of clarity and intentionality. Without clear direction, we become vulnerable to the changing winds of circumstance rather than steering our own course. This wisdom applies equally to daily tasks and long-term vision. By preparing each day in advance and maintaining awareness of progress across all twelve life aspects, Jacopo maintains the internal balance that fuels sustainable success.

Perhaps most inspiring is Jacopo’s commitment to contribution. All proceeds from his book support Hermano della Calle, an organization helping homeless individuals regain dignity. This exemplifies his four-point philosophy of Research, Growth, Action, and Contribution. After experiencing the transformation that comes from internal work, his mission now centres on sharing these insights with others who might be struggling with similar challenges despite external achievements.

For those feeling successful yet unfulfilled, Jacopo’s message offers a roadmap toward genuine contentment. The journey begins not with more striving but with stillness—creating space through meditation to reconnect with your authentic self. From this foundation, external success flows more naturally and satisfyingly than ever before. As Jacopo reminded us, when facing adversity, we always have two options: become the worst version of ourselves or use challenges as catalysts to become our best.
