My buddy Duff wrote a devastating critique of Multi-Level Marketing outfits, and used Ken Wilber’s 4-quadrant model to frame the problem in a brilliant way. Here is a little excerpt from his post, “Have You Been Infected by an MLM? How to Heal from the Great American Socio-Economic Virus.“: MLM’s are the tapeworm of America, [...]

I recently watched Into Great Silence with a couple of friends, and have to say that this is one of my favorite meditative movies of all time. I guess that’s kind of funny to say though, considering there really aren’t many meditative type movies. Some movies, I think work the emotional side enough to produce [...]

I wrote an article that was published on the popular personal development site, DumbLittleMan.com, called “Do Nothing to Become More Productive“.

From his blog: A great article was published today on LifeClever about the oft mentioned claim that mastery of something takes about 10,000 hours of practice. From what I’ve seen, [...]

Caught this in a headline this morning on MSNBC’s site: If you’re sad and shopping, watch your wallet: A new study shows people’s spending judgment goes out the window when they’re down, especially if they’re a bit self-absorbed. And we needed a “new study” to tell us that? Whoa! But the really interesting part, to [...]
