Law 1
If You Want to Be Human, Be a Beast First

Human Beast

The Laws of the Jungle
Not metaphors. Not philosophy borrowed from books. Nine principles written in the code of life itself, extracted from years living inside the Amazon, and set to music that carries what words alone cannot.
Each law includes an original score. Press play.
Law 2
Be the Music, Not the Conductor
“It is scary to let go; fear strikes. But fear is the best guide. It shows you the way — always towards it, never away from it. If you run from it, it will chase you forever.”
Be the Music
Original score
Law 3
The Fig Tree Will Never Bear Mangos
“If you are born a fig, you will not yield mango no matter how hard you try. You may fool some for a minute into believing you have changed and become someone else, but when your season arrives, you will still be you.”

Law 4
The Seasons Always Change
“No species in the jungle complains and no species tries to hold onto the old. They are not attached to anything but the sacredness of the continuity of life. When the season changes they adjust immediately and naturally to the new situation and thrive in it.”

Law 7
Life Is Perfectly Perfect
“The Amazon is home to almost 50 percent of the species on earth, yet there is room for all. Each species finds its own special and unique niche to make its home. No home is bigger than what is needed, efficient simplicity is the guiding line, and there is no greed.”

The Purpose of Life Is Death

The laws land differently
when Yossi speaks them.
Every keynote draws from these nine principles. The room goes quiet. Then it goes very loud.
