What the **** does that mean really?
What does it mean to “get over” something?
What about “sort it out”?
And as for “deal with it”, are our lives some variation on Blackjack that we just need the right hand to show up?
It’s one of the questions I pondered when I made the “Self Help Me Over” online […]
…knowing there is an alternative.
Life is a different sort of exam than we had at school.
There are more answers than you might have originally thought.
Be aware of the answer everyone else is giving, but there are always alternatives, so discover the ones that work for you.
It pays to take a second look.

People say that your adult life is shaped by your childhood experiences.
Now I have my own young children I begin to recall all sorts of nursery rhymes, songs and tunes I haven’t heard for ages. What effect did they have on me I wonder?

Last year in September I wrote about a 47-year old professor, Randy Pausch, and his inspirational “Last Lecture” following his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer.
If you want to know why death is such an important part of being human, then view the video on my previous post.
Back then he had wide publicity, from Good Morning America […]
Medicine can be so arrogant sometimes.
How can doctors “save people’s lives” when people just die later of something else.
The latest cancer treatment announces it has reduced the mortality by half. Really. Please put the time-frame back in and say something like, “within the first 5 years after treatment.”
Human life is after all, as the saying […]
Last year in the city where I live they outlawed smoking indoors in public places.
Actually they did this quite a while back, but they had made an exception for hotels, pubs and bars. Now they’ve extended it to these places too. You have to have an outdoors area now if you want to have a […]
When people come to me and complain about headaches, they usually are quick to suspect their headaches are caused by stress or some psychological worry.
After all if they thought their headaches were caused by something physical, that a physiotherapist could fix for example, they wouldn’t be seeing a psychological self help guy in the first […]
