Abstract: In an era dominated by left-brain-centric paradigms—marked by linear logic, hyper-individualism, and mechanistic productivity—human thriving remains fragmented and ecologically unsustainable. This paper introduces Lenism, a novel biopsychosocial-philosophical framework that positions deliberate right-brain activation—creativity, intuition, and integrative problem-solving—as a leverage point for equitable, adaptive, and interconnected societies. Synthesizing neuroplasticity research, sociological theory, and philosophical insights on collective flourishing, Lenism asserts that right-brain alignment and regenerative principles can transcend biological determinism and sociocultural constraints to unlock human Potential through nature-inspired systems. Lenism is operationalized through five transdisciplinary pillars: Conscious Creativity Activation, Empathic Equilibrium, Holistic Harmony, Adaptive Flow, and Collective Resonance. Each pillar bridges neuroscience with scalable sociostructural interventions, including right-brain-centric policymaking, empathy-weighted governance, and “Neural Synchrony Circles.” Preliminary evidence suggests Lenism can recalibrate leadership paradigms, foster cross-cultural synergy, and dismantle systemic inequities by embedding emotional and ecological intelligence into institutional systems. Unlike fragmented models, Lenism offers a unified theory-to-practice continuum—integrating neural self-mastery with macrosocial redesign. This paper also introduces Ogunlade’s Law of Lenism and Lenistic equation. Tools for applying this law include the Lenistic Aggregate Creativity, Intuition, and Problem-Solving Scale (LACIPS) and the Lenistic Nature Connectedness Scale (LNCS), which facilitate the assessment of the Potential for Ethical Wealth, Abundance, and Prosperity—measured in the unit pewap. Pilot implementations in education and organizations are proposed to enhance problem-solving, reduce conflict, and increase resilience. The paper concludes with a call for transdisciplinary collaboration to quantify Lenism’s impact on well-being metrics—from economic cooperativity to psychospiritual vitality. By reframing right-brain capacities as catalysts for collective thriving, Lenism offers a bold alternative to reductionist progress models—where wisdom is orchestrated at scale.
