Problems. We all get ‘em. But sometimes they seem to come in flocks. Problem with problems is they tend to build. We see one, we get hooked–emotionally triggered–then our radar (also known as the Reticular Activating System RAS) gets turned on. Now, you guessed it, we start spotting problems like a major league players spots…

The Perfect 8
As usual, I was pressed for time when I walked into the gym. Work is a load, sleep a precious gem and there’s the kids. Need I say more? Yes, time… And I’ve got to get a workout in. Good news is the gym is just downstairs. Phew… In between my cycling events it was…
F*$# Being Offended by Kobe
Didgya hear about Kobe (Bryant) mouthing off to a ref the other night? I guess he got pissed and called the ref a “fag!” A fag? What? I seriously doubt his intent was to compare the ref to a cigarette (yes, that’s an old definition). But clearly, this was not a moment of higher thinking….
When Less is More
More, more, more… Consume, consume, consume. Be it in our garage, our homes, or our mouths. Consumers is the mantra that we’ve been conditioned by—the one we are in recovery from. But as we all know, recovery is a way of living not a destination. When more, more, more gets the best of us and…
In Search of Science at EAS
Pardon my temper if you will… Be warned, I’m about to break a rule! More accurately a promise or commitment I’d made to myself—a commitment to a deaf ear and altogether look the other direction from EAS.

Well, finally… after years of trial and effort, years of struggling, years of–dare I say it?–wasting your time and money it’s here!…
Why You Need a Reboot
When was the last time you woke up fully rested—eager and energized to start your day? Think back; perhaps it was day six of a seven-day vacation that you were last in balance, enjoying your natural flow of energy. As rare as this surplus of energy is for most, think of how a child awakens each day. My young son, Nathaniel, pops out of bed every morning with his tank full. No need for a Grande…
The Myth of Success
Success is the pinnacle, it’s what we crave. I believe success is broken—an outdated pursuit that has been the result of more dissatisfaction, confusion, disillusionment and emptiness than we may truly ever understand. We spend out lives justifying our vigilant pursuit of success while secretly hanging on to the fantasy that when we catch it,…

Chasing the Dream vs. Living a Nightmare
“Livin’ The Dream, baby!” Yep, living the dream. Seems it once was not just a popular phrase but a more common approach to life. This came up for me in a coaching session today. I was dealing out my list of crap that’s not working in my life, the nice version of complaining, when my…
