We all have internal perceptions of ourselves. Do you believe you're a good person? Do you believe you're attractive to others? But we tend to also believe these ideas aren't very malleable. Too often we think we're stuck believing whatever it is we currently believe. But that may not be true. And taking it in hand could be a real life-changer. Whether in your business or personal life, changing your...

Selfishness has a negative connotation in our culture; but it’s not selfishness, it’s a lack of empathy that hurts others. While I am no Ayn Rand acolyte, I do agree with her argument in “The Virtue of Selfishness.” Taking care of oneself is not only reasonable; it is necessary – necessary for survival.

The good news is that such a perspective creates lots of choices that can help you be your most healthy, best self.

I've been thinking a lot lately about my previous career and how happy I am to have made the decision to leave it behind. I was very dissatisfied and unfulfulled in the Movie/Television production business in L.A. where I was an Assistant Director. As I look back on that - and my decision to leave it - it was kind of like "Career-Change Therapy." I credit my decision to leave to my therapist at the...
