What Makes You a Success
Ever do a stream-of-consciousness examination of your life? Ever look deeply into your own mental state – other than when you’re depressed – and come away with an impersonal grasp of what your life has been about so far? We’re not talking about navel gazing here, nor narcissistic self-congratulation. It’s more of a detached, non-involved evaluation of someone’s life.... [Read more]
The Real Reason Your Life Sucks
Ever wonder why so many people have screwed up lives? I mean, there are hundreds – thousands – of teachers providing powerful insights into philosophy, psychology, spirituality and meditation.

How do you justify that? How do determine what price is fair... [Read more]
Getting the Book Out of Yourself
It’s been said that everybody has at least one book in them. I don’t know if that’s true, but it could be. After this weekend, I’m ready to believe it. Living in Thailand, I enjoy getting together with other foreigners (“Farang”) once in a while, so I attend the Expats Club every two weeks. A couple of months ago, after one of the meetings, I went up and asked the... [Read more]
Unplug Yourself from Frustration, Anxiety and Suffering
When the mess hits the fan, what’s your standard reaction? Do you worry, obsess and panic? Or perhaps you don’t even wait for things to go wrong. Is worry your constant state of mind… just because you’re convinced something WILL go wrong? If you often find yourself with an oversupply of anxiety and frustration in your life, it’s always – ALWAYS – because you’re... [Read more]
There’s Confidence, Then There’s REAL Confidence
If you could scratch the surface and look just beneath the surface of that macho, confident guy, or that brassy, confident lady, you might be surprised. Much of what passes for confidence in today’s world is nothing but an act. Otherwise, why would so many people in top leadership positions end it all when their fortunes turn or their career crashes? Maybe you’ve been working to build up... [Read more]
