I just got off my phone with Chris Gloss, and here are my thoughts.
First, does it BOTHER you that Chris did a 7-year stint touring prisons… not as a prisoner, but actually teaching them how to live when they DID get out of it?
Second, does it BOTHER you that Chris is NOT a “GURU” but […]
who are you?
This is one of the most profound questions to ever have been asked. But the question is, do we have an answer?
When you ask yourself what you are, do you have a clear idea? or is it a little hazy? For most people, this question is not just profound, it’s confusing. Because we are just […]
Coming out from schools where I used to train, I’m not surprised that we encounter the kinds of students we do. Most of them jaded, experiencing failure, low self-esteem… wait a second. Sounds almost like some the participants I have when I first encounter them even in an adult training.
But when parents look at their […]
In most parts of psychotherapy, people believe that the attachment issue creates problems. For instance, if you were a child and you felt too much “attachement” to your mother, it would give rise to problems in school.

Well… more importantly, I knew I needed it - personal […]
I’ve been going around the web looking at other people’s blogs and every once in a while you find a great story.

I think it must have taken great strength to break free from something like […]
Eat a third and drink a third and leave the remaining third of your stomach empty. Then, when you get angry,

There comes a time in a person’s life where he or she makes a decision. A major decision. It’s a reevaluation of everything that’s happened in life, and the final choice - to keep in that way or change forever.
The change cannot happen immediately until and unless we let go of the past. I’m sitting […]
Resilience is the pain that you embrace. It’s the realization that you could stop and give up but you didn’t. It’s the realization that you could take two more steps even though no one else expected you to even take one.
