Matthew C CoxI’m Matthew C Cox, author, business owner, and founder of The Peace of Mind Training Institute. Thank you for visiting my personal website.

At one time, this site told the story of my vision of a family of fifty people in three generations to make a positive impact on the world, specifically to bring world peace through demonstrating how to have individual Peace of Mind. It contained pictures of our growing family and a story-book tale of love, cooperation, and accomplishment.

That story and those pictures are no longer here because, in the fall of 2010, the unthinkable happened. In a matter of five weeks, our family was ripped apart through a series of events: one after another after another, leaving us confused, frustrated, and hurting.

It was during those experiences that I realized Peace of Mind does not come from a peaceful life. It comes from understanding Universal Laws. I saw that once a person understands these laws; he or she will experience Peace of Mind, no matter what is taking place in life.

Up until the fall of 2010, I had pursued Peace of Mind while living a relatively easy life. In fact, ever since I was a teenager, I had searched through various religious and spiritual philosophies. Every time I thought I had found a philosophy or belief system that brought Peace of Mind, I’d discover an exception that didn’t work. I’ve talked to thousands of people who have had this experience and I suspect this is true for you too. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have stumbled across this website.

Then, late in 2010, after more than 35 years of researching, writing, and teaching, I felt confident that I had found a belief system that produced Peace of Mind. I began to move forward organizing The Peace of Mind Training Institute with the intent of sharing this message with the world. I thought I was ready to do this. Apparently, The Universe thought otherwise because within a few weeks, my life was turned upside down.

In the midst of my difficulties, I used my philosophy and discovered that it works in difficult situations as well as peaceful ones. As a result, even though we are facing family challenges, my vision remains strong. Yes, the vision of 50 people in three generations working together to bring world peace through demonstrating how to have individual Peace of Mind. In fact, as a direct result of these challenges, a team of people has emerged who are helping me put together books, audios, and videos to provide complete Peace of Mind Training. When new materials are available, we announce them on this website in the right hand column.

The information below this video contains links to our websites and businesses that either promote or practice our Peace of Mind philosophy. I invite you to browse them and learn more.

Thanks again for visiting my website and best wishes on your Peace of Mind Journey.
