Following Your Heart .

Social Psychologist & Personal Advisor

"The Greatest Prize
for Life's labors isn't
in material possessions
or impressive accomplishments,
but in the progress of personal character.
You labor for your own becoming, this is your richest reward.
Who You Become is your greatest possession,
make it your Masterpiece!"
(Changing Your Stripes, 2nd Edition, page 274) 

You can't really "think" yourself into being happy.
Neither can you chant enough affirmations to change
yourself into a person of higher character.

Cognitive therapies of "mental programming" may alter outward appearances, but "who you are" from the heart remains unchanged. Like ripples that undulate from a pebble cast in a pond, leaving the pond unaltered at its depths, . . . the superficial effects of mind power eventually dissipate & disappear.

It is true that positive attitude and vivid visualizing can raise your bowling score, improve your golf swing, make you a more dazzling dancer, or help you "Go for the Gold," . . . but the same cognitive conjurings cannot increase your character or bring peace to a troubled soul. Using "head" remedies only, even the strongest mental determinations to be a better person will not work.

"Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life"
- Proverbs 4:233

Fundamental change occurs as true principles are loved and lived! The very principles that are not being taught by self-improvement gurus generally, nor by many helping professionals, and particularly not by the purveyors of cognitive psychology — the scientific field that asserts the erroneous idea that the human brain works like a programmable computer.

The truth is . . . freedom from self-defeating habits requires living true principles from the "heart," there is no other way.

"The only change that matters is a change of heart,
every other change alters us cosmetically but not fundamentally,
modifies how we appear, what we do or what we say,
but does not change who we are."
- C. Terry Warner.

My new book, "Changing Your Stripes" presents principles for:
Getting out of the ditch in which you've been dumped . . . the difficulties of which you are a Victim
& Getting out of the ditch in which you've jumped . . . the difficulties for which you Volunteer.

"Mastering a challenging situation
is ultimately a matter of.
.mastering yourself!"
- Matt Moody 

"Changing Your Stripes" teaches you the principles that lead to lasting change,
making you a new kind of creature capable of responding
with calm, even as storms of adversity swirl.

If these ideas resonate and ring true,
then, . . . this book is for you!
