You Need a Self Doubt Mastery Plan (so you can do the stuff that matters)

It was one of the greatest nights of my life.

One hundred people mingled together in the small room I had booked next to a large music venue.

As an introvert who has always loved helping to create a sense of community for people (but rarely do because I truly border on reclusive), knowing that I had brought all these people together and that they were now connecting, talking and laughing thrilled me. But the best part? They had all come to listen to me read from my newly launched book Help Me, Asia: Five Countries, One Mission, Learn How to Be Happy–the writing of which had been a trying, 10-year labour of love.

How I Went From Wanting to Die to Loving My Life

I used to wake up every day wanting to die.

Not all of me wanted that. There were parts of me that wanted to live large, travel the world, be an entrepreneur, inspire others and make a real difference as a writer, teacher, philanthropist and all-round shift-disturber, starting and supporting projects that make the world better.

But this one loud and persistent part of me wanted nothing to do with any of that. It just wanted to die.

Are You Programmed to Fail? (Let’s change that)

Ugh.

That’s the feeling when you know there’s something you want to do, but you’re not doing it.

I know it well.

But why aren’t you (we?) doing it?

Well, duh. Fear of failure, right? Isn’t that the bogeyman in the closet that keeps all us adults awake at night?

Sometimes. But that’s usually just a cover for the real fear.

It’s hard to do, because our culture barely talks about or openly practices it, so we don’t even know what it looks or feels like.

How To Be A Genius Like Einstein

One hundred years ago, Albert Einstein presented his Theory of General Relativity, which set forward the paradigm-shifting idea that gravity between objects is caused by curvatures in space and time. If you’ve always wanted to understand what the hell that means, this post isn’t going to help you–but this cute 3-minute video will do the trick.

My obsession has always been: How do people come up with ideas like that? What energetic laws are they harnessing, and how can I use them myself?
