Self Help SucksHanging With Steve and EthanI have the pleasure of hanging out with the "Auto Lead King" of Canada, Steven Scott, and his video production manager, YouTube Whizz Kid Ethan Ashley. Both Steve and Ethan are top 1% performers and in addition to recording them at work I asked them the 2 questions I am trying to answer with this series of lectures: 1) Does Self Help work? 2) How can the average Joe or Jane employ the power of Self Help in order to become successful?

2020-05-011h 20Self Help SucksWhy Self Help (Ultimately) FailsThe reason that self help cannot be considered an "ultimate" bastion in your life is that it cannot answer the question of how you can be happy. Not to mention any of the other "big questions" that give your life meaning and purpose and which provide you with a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment
2020-04-1929 minSelf Help SucksSelf Help and Serial KillersWere serial killers born or made? What about people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and Gary Vee? The average person looks on in awe as these God-like figures traverse the landscapes of our collective consciousness: why do some people seem to have it all?
Moreover, can the average schmuck like you and me become like them? What exactly does that take? There are no end of talented, hard-working and intelligent people in the world. Why do so few succeed then?
What is success? Is it being "happy" and if so, what does that...
2020-04-1729 minSelf Help SucksArt and "Will to Power"So I am sitting here waiting for my (bEaUtiFuL) Ukrainian Tutor to join my whereby.com meeting and I thought it would look #cool if I was talking into my phone (unlike the failed marketing consultant I am and may always never be)
2020-04-1529 minSelf Help SucksSelf Help vs. SpiritualityI often ask my atheist friends whether they are spiritual and, regardless of the answer, I believe that many of them are. Like many people, I believe that spirituality is more important than being religious and, I posit, more real than "self help". The self help genre has spawned millions of books, CDs, courses, workshops, gurus and God knows what else over the last 150 years but does it work? Do you know anyone who has transformed their lives by reading a book? Can self help answer basic questions like, "how can I be happy?" It cannot but spirituality can
2020-04-1129 minSelf Help SucksThe Will to SucceedNietzsche talked about "will to power" as being the primary driving force of the human psyche. While most of what the man wrote and spoke of is way above my level of understanding I have never quite understood or accepted this principle of his. Until recently, that is. Don Juan used to advise Castaneda that the principles he was teaching him would remain dry theoretical constructs until he, Castaneda, experienced them for himself. This is how I feel about "will to power". I had decided that man's desire for meaning was the preeminent factor in his inner life. Nietzsche himself...
2020-04-1129 minSelf Help SucksWhat is the Key to Transforming My Life?The perennial promise of Self Help is that anyone can become a "suberbeing". Just like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison or [insert your hero or heroine here!] you too can become an excellent version of yourself and accomplish amazing things. Deep down inside we all believe this is true, that we are special and capable of accomplishing great things. Unfortunately, however, most of us live drab lives of mediocrity overshadowed by the debris of broken dreams and lost hopes. If that is putting it too harshly then at least most of us have not been able to live...
2019-12-1829 minSelf Help SucksSelf Help Misses the Most Important Thing of AllErich Fromm talks about "being", "doing" and "having" and self help generally glosses over the most important of these. We are sold on the idea of becoming the best version of ourselves: superbeings. We are told that once we have mastered the art of being then we can have and achieve whatever we want in life. What is missed out in this equation is that the only thing we really have in our power which is what we do
Self help sells us on the idea that we can somehow flick a switch in our minds...
2019-10-2729 minSelf Help SucksSelf Help is One-DimensionalIt is true. Self help is focused (mostly) on external success and, at best, brushes over the fundamental character changes that are necessary in order to become truly successful and happy. Self help gurus talk about "thinking like rich people" and visualizing every manner of external achievement in the greatest of detail. While none of this is bad in-and-of itself it ignores the fact that success begins and ends within you
For the most part, self help ignores the moral side of self development. Very few self help gurus talk about things like honesty, patience and forgiveness...
2019-09-1329 minSelf Help SucksThe Final Frontier of SuccessI haven't spent too much time talking about material success or "externalities" in my analysis of success so far. That is because material success is a given component of overall success. However, any kind of success begins and ends within you. You have an idea or an ideal or a dream or a goal or vision. You take steps to define and then achieve you goal. You succeed. You are happy
Looking within, I have asked the question: what is the ultimate inner goal of the human experience? What is it that we need the most from...
2019-09-1329 minSelf Help SucksNo, Really, What Is "Success"??You may not even realize it but you are looking for "the answer" (I am, at least). It is built in your very being, the knowledge that there is some vital piece of information or wisdom that will change everything. That is what Self Help sells us, the notion that we can somehow flick a switch inside of and become a superbeing like a Tony Robbins or a Gary Vaynerchuk. All in a weekend!!
It is the same line we are fed by spiritual gurus who talk about instant "life transformations" or reaching "enlightenment" where our suffering...
2019-09-1029 minSelf Help SucksWhat is "Success" Anyway?Alexander the Great believed he was the son of God which is why he accomplished superhuman feats (so the story goes). Apparently he sat down and wept when he had conquered the whole of the known world because there were no more countries left to conquer. Along the way he met an Indian guru who imparts the essence of ancient wisdom to him
It is important to define success because if nothing else, you may be aiming at the wrong thing(s) in life if you do not know what really drives you. Most intelligent people will...
2019-09-1029 minSelf Help SucksThe Promise of a "Super" YouThe proof seems to be in the pudding in that "normal" people like yourself and myself can become superbeings like Gary Vee, Elon Musk or Tony Robbins. Most super-successful people did, after all, start of being average if not completely broke
Multilevel Marketing businesses provide more examples in the tens of thousands of moms, dads and others of every race and background who went from "normal" to multi-millionaires living the ultimate lifestyle (at least outwardly)
Is it that these people really went from being like myself and yourself and transformed themselves into new "super" people...
2019-09-0229 minSelf Help SucksCan You Really Change Who You Are?On the one hand, most people will agree that there is an essential "me" inside of them who has always been the same. However, would you not agree that you are a different person than you were 10 years ago?
It often seems like super-successful people like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and Elon Musk and Gary Vaynerchuck are "different" from the rest of us. When you read and learn about them it sometimes appear that they have always had the key attributes and qualities that led to their success, even when they were kids. Gary Vee used...
2019-08-3129 minSelf Help SucksThere Is No "Real" YouWhen you talk about changing your "self" you are talking about changing something that transcends time, space and material limitations. How can you change your soul or spirit? How can you ever change who you are as a person? Your essence?
On the other hand, your likes and dislikes and personality does and can change over time! Every atom in your body changes every 6-12 months and if you compare yourself to who you were 10 years ago you might even say that EVERYTHiNG about you has changed
Is the thing that you call "me" or "...
2019-08-3029 minSelf Help SucksWhy Self Help SucksThe problem with self help is that you are focused on "self". If you are focused on "self" you are bound to suffer. The way to live is to lose yourself in EXPERIENCE. That means finding things that you lose yourself and focusing (just) on those things. Building your life around those things. Not worrying about money or fame or success or even that thing called "happiness".

How to PakistanEpisode 09 - Ambassador HaqqaniTwo recent pieces in the international press have been great reminders of the steep price Pakistan continues to pay for the tragic stupidities that the country endured for decades in the name of national security.
In a February 6 piece for the New York, Carlotta Gall asserts that Da'esh is partly a product of Pakistan's ISI, and on Valentine's Day, a Bloomberg Business piece by Fasih Mangi and Divya Patil suggests that Pakistan is about to default.
For even casual observers, both pieces fail to offer compelling evidence, or really any kind of evidence at all for their very substantial claims.
