Now here’s a line I’m sure you’ve heard (or said) before: “If it weren’t for people, I’d get a lot more done.” Okay, it’s pretty clear to most of us how sound that statement seems, but how about how miserly, mischievous, and borderline-mean it actually is? Especially for us “enLIGHTened” folk. As co-president of HG […]
I’m about to bring up a subject matter that is still considered taboo in this day and age, even to audiences of 18 and over. Ready? Here it is. I want to talk to you about your SEX LIFE and how to make it better. It starts with opening your mouth. I’m talking about communication. […]
Maybe some of you remember the fascinating study that came out a few years ago from Bronnie Ware, a nurse in a terminal palliative care unit. She polled her patients in their last days asking them what their regrets were. The number-one regret? That people did not pursue their dreams. Kind of sobering, right? And […]
Manifesting [man-uh-fest-ing] verb – the act of causing something or bringing a specific result to fruition by thinking and feeling a certain way.

Lauren Zander appeared on Reuters TV to talk with Fred Katayama about her new book, Maybe It’s You, and how humans habitually lie to themselves. Press play to find out how to begin changing your narrative when it comes to your career and life.
Look, I get it. The truth (telling it and hearing it) makes us jittery. But when we keep everything nonconfrontational and PC, we end up unconsciously stepping over every which way we lie, sugarcoat, and walk on eggshells. And in the end, those lies hold us back from real productivity, success, and happiness. So although […]
Warning: R-rated content. Ever wonder why no matter how many mean things your mother said to you when you were a kid (or yesterday), you remember only a select few? Bet you think it’s because, out of the gazillion mean things she said, the particular ones you pocketed were her greatest hits. Maybe… Or, ever […]
For most of us, the subject of TIME is still a very abstract concept. We all know we could be managing our time more effectively, but no amount of list-making or fancy iPhone apps has changed the way we feel about our time – be it stressed, sad, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled. There is no quick […]
Forget frogs, vermin, locusts, darkness, blood, and even seders themselves. I’ve discovered another plague on humanity. And it’s an even bigger problem than, say, lice. We’ve got snice. What’s snice, you wonder? It’s a personality trait I’ve coached thousands of people to dial down because, truth is, there’s not only no truth in it, it’s […]
Money is one of the most important and valuable currencies of your life. I say “one of” because I put two others before it: 1) Time: This one of the most sacred relationships you have because time is the currency of life. If you are in a battle with time you are in a battle […]
The first duty of love is to listen – Paul Tillich I know this is going to be hard to believe. But, there are times in my life where I fully, down to my toes, believe I am the busiest man in the world. I know you can’t relate and that I’m the only pre-occupied, self-centered, […]
Should certain friendships have an expiration date? You know, like Parmalat? Okay, not necessarily the nicest of questions, for sure, but an honest one.
