“Purpose vs. Personality” – a free audio by Steve Chandler

An old friend of mine, and subscriber to this blog, told me recently that she missed the honesty and vulnerability of the old “Marc’s Life and Travels”.  I agree.  There are a few circumstances in my life that cause me to be a bit less transparent than I normally like to be.  All will be [...]

Peak-performance, diet, lifestyle, Mark Hyman’s “Ultramind Solution” and Barry Sears “Zone Diet”

I recently came across Mark Hyman’s book “The Ultramind Solution”, which led me to Barry Sears older Zone Diet system.  Both books cover the same topic, which is how diet and lifestyle impact our bodies, which in turn impacts our cognitive capacity and personal resilience (ability to weather upsets and disappointments).   I have been [...]

Don’t worry, you are going to be alright

Two days ago I wrote major post to the polyphasic sleep blog (which is where I put my thoughts-in-formation), excerpted below:

“What is gradually emerging is that the leading edge of my own development is deepening and clarifying my relationship with my wife, Rebekah.  This is an awesome yet shocking realization – awesome in terms of [...]

What question lies at the heart of your work?

I recently came across this fascinating introduction to a new book called Presence: Human Purpose and the Field of the Future, by (among others) Peter M. Senge and C. Otto Scharmer. The book presents a radical new model for leadership based on a new understanding of how organizations function in relationship to individuals’ own "deep [...]

More on the power of intention & other amazing events

Less than two weeks after I declared publicly, in this post, that I wanted essentially to become a "professional housemother" (owner/operator of a commune, purveyor of "a community of fun, love and transformation"), some amazing things have happened.  Specifically, 3 new people (yes, three) have approached us with the intention of doing a trial residence [...]

Sense of purpose, commitment and income generation

Here is yesterday’s quote from transformational coach Steve Chandler (one of my favorite teachers):

“If your mind is on the right path, it doesn’t matter how fast you go. If you’re on the right path, you’ll get there. Commitment keeps you on the path.”

And then:

“The hardest thing for people in western culture to unlearn is the [...]

Business ownership vs. regular employee / contract jobs?

Well I have been off coffee for 48 hours – man what a difference.  Long-term coffee toxicity is deadly – I pretty well slept or rested the whole day yesterday.  But today, I am on fire!  I am drinking green tea now, which seems to be working very well (3 1/2 hours on the job [...]

Very excited about my new internet business, and Shakti seems to be flying everywhere

I am so excited about my new internet business that I have been walking around in a kind of daze for 48 hours now.  Even my daughter Ariana (9 years old) is telling me I’m acting a bit strange. 

The new business was branded this morning – by consensus of my friends – as "Everyman’s [...]
