This post was written because 4 weeks ago a very good friend called to tell me that he had lost his job – I gave him this advice and today he called to say I picked him up and he went out the very next day, did what I suggested and he now has a [...]

I’m not sure when it happened but I’ve noticed a total feeling of calm within recently, not a Godly type calm but certainly some type of spiritual calm – I’m sure its not enlightenment, an awakening or achieving meaning. But its refreshing…whatever this feeling is.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not floating on hallucianating mushrooms or [...]

Former British Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies doesn’t look like someone who spends much time at a desk, but she has nonetheless devised a desk-based workout for those of us who do.
Still exceptionally fit, she has created a series of videos for The Times of London Web site aimed at boosting fitness for office workers. She [...]

I heard that there is growing enthusiasm in America, which may now increase in Europe for facial yoga – that’s right facial yoga!!!

A recent comparison of the mental and physical health of American and British people raises some intriguing questions. Here’s a few key data points:

I had to take an early morning, 6:30am, tram to a meeting today. Early morning meetings are quite frequent in Poland, much more so than they are in other parts of Europe – particularly France! In England we have a couple of expressions ‘The early bird catches the worm’ and ‘Early to bed, early to [...]

Covey had a huge best-seller with The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (notice the title was made of 7 words). As it turns out, seven words is a surprisingly catchy way to deliver a message. Just ask writer Michael Pollan, whose book “In Defense of Food” is Number [...]

Do you get those days that start off really well and then quickly go down hill? This morning I was in the shower singing loudly (and badly) to Young Folks by Peter, Bjorn and John and feeling happy despite the thought that I was facing the prospect of heading into town [...]

I was standing in a checkout queue in the local delikatessy watching as a line of ‘older people’ counted out their small change. This started me thinking about how I would be when I am older, you know pension age add another 30 years – 90’s plus old. I currently have every intention of being [...]
