24 Hour Special

I haven’t yet officially launched any of my products on this blog, so here’s the first.
When I have these launch specials it won’t be a measly 10% or even 20% discount. You can expect a minimum of 60% off for any of these offers.
Over time all my products are likely to have a special time-limited [...]

Fall Back

I’ve just woken up an hour later.
Running an international website is such fun. In Australia we have just had our Daylight Saving Time change. Those of you in the European Union are doing/have done the same. And those of you in the US will wait another week.
So if you are confused about how remember how [...]

EFT Is Bunkum? – Part 2

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an “emotional version of acupuncture, except without the needles”, as developer Gary Craig puts it.
[If you need more introduction to EFT go to Part 1 here.]
There is very little evidence in the scientific literature, but EFT has a lot of raving fans and practitioners.
So coming from my own background as [...]

EFT Is Bunkum? – Part 1

Back when I first started my counseling practice in 2001 I offered Emotional Freedom Techniques as a change method.
If you haven’t heard of Emotional Freedom Techniques (or EFT) then take a look at this classic video from EFT developer Gary Craig back in the 1990s:

Occam’s Razor For Self Help

Medicine is an art. It’s meant to be a science, but in fact it isn’t. It is slightly more of a science than many other healing arts, but still most of the decisions made by doctors have very little to do with science based on solid, relevant evidence.
Psychiatric medicine is one of the worst offenders.
As [...]

Tied Up In A Mess

Some people come to me with a very specific problem to solve.
Maybe you have something very specific and clear-cut in your life that you would like solved.
Often people who come to me know exactly what is wrong, and they know what needs to happen for it to be fixed. Sometimes they even tell me what [...]

The Importance Of Dying – Part 3

Part 1 introduced the last lecture of 47-year-old Randy Pausch who summarized the lessons he wants to pass on from his life.
Let me give you Randy’s most important lesson from his entire life…
“Find the best in everybody. You might have to wait a long time, sometimes years, but people will show you their good side.
Just [...]

Optimistic Pessimism

One of the most real-world, kick-ass guys I’ve come across on the internet is a copywriter named John Carlton.
He claims to teach people about copywriting.
John really teaches people about life.
People go to John to learn how to sell more stuff and make more money. He accepts that – and then slides in the real stuff.
