Hi there Better Lifers!

In a culture where everyone is a self-proclaimed "warrior" (I live in northern California...), I am a worrier.

Not because I'm smart;
It's not an "I'm worried about the future of the world" post.
(Although I do...

"Be a winner."

"You're such a loser."

"You have to win in life."

"Nice guys finish last."

"You'll never get anywhere in life."

Is culture putting too much on us?

And if so, is it really some external force (e.g., 'culture') that 'does it to us'?

And...

Hey there Better Lifers!

It seems like recently,
every birthday of mine comes with a drama…

In 2019 I was hospitalized.

In 2020 we were evacuated and ran away from the fires.

And this year…

I’ll...

Hey there Better Lifers!

Here's a great question I received from Daniel (I changed his name to keep his privacy).

Whether you meditate or not,

the answer will help you see another way in which your...

Loved ones

How can coaching help? How do I help?

I've been asked this question a lot.
And I get it: "Coaching" is a very vague term.

There are different types of coaching (for example, executive, life, and business coaching) each...

Hey there Better Lifers!

I get asked a lot,

“What do you mean when you say that we see different realities, different worlds?”;

And “What does it mean that we each live in our own universe, our own reality?”

Well,...

Hey there Better Lifers!

Unlike many others, 

I’m not a “you can manifest reality” kind of guy.

Oh, no.

Don’t even get me started about that.

But there is one thing you DO create all...

Hey there Better Lifers!

The most important elections of your life happen inside your head.

Every. Single. Moment.

I’m not saying that the elections for president/prime minister are not important. But the more important question, perhaps ...

Hey there Better Lifers!

What if there was a way for you to make it easier for your loved ones to forgive you?

After my post about forgiveness, people started asking me more and more about the relationship between apology and forgiveness. 

So -...

Hey there Better Lifers!

Every now and then, I feel like my heart is bleeding.

It’s usually because I get in touch with the deeper layers of my core wounds and the existential pain - the pain that comes with being alive.

Some days are like...

Hey there Better Lifers!

560 fires. At the same time. 

California is burning.
Over 1,000,000 acres have already burned in 1 week.

How big is that?

It’s like of the grand canyon burning on fire.
It’s like the entire island of Maui,...

Hey there Better Lifers!

Pain and suffering are a serious issue.

But sometimes the best way to learn - and to remember - how to deal with it all,
is through a joke.

As the Course in Miracles says -
part of the problem is that we are...

Hey there Better Lifers!

Who got it right - the east or the west?

Yes, you can see spirituality in the west, and psychology in the east.
But by and large, the west focuses on psychology.
The east on spirituality.

But the fact is that you...

Hey there Better Lifers!  

“Once you have recognized that there are other realities,
other than the one you have been familiar with,
your life starts to change.

Hey there Better Lifers!  

I used to hate my birthday.

It was a combination of unpleasant experiences,
expectations that didn’t get met, and, of course,
hating myself.

And then, in 1995, the biggest tragedy of my life happened:
