Today we visited the “Terror Museum” in Budapest. It’s housed in the former offices and torture headquarters of the Fascist Party (WWII) and the Hungarian communist “KGB” (1945-1990). As half my family are Hungarian refugees (the other half are Polish refugees), I came to Budapest to explore my roots and see whether ancestral memories or [...]
Regular readers of my blog know that I write in glowing terms about my “lifestyle guru” Tim Ferriss. I’ve been promising for a long time to write about the principles of his brilliant text, 4 Hour Work Week. (See e.g. this article last year on speaking your truth) Though I don’t usually write whilst I’m [...]
Greetings from Ukraine where we are teaching in a wonderful healing spa “sanitarium” near Kiev. This is truly the most fantastic venue, set inside a beautiful forest surrounded by a lake.

Yesterday I shared several real life examples of “magical thinking” in the New Age community. People searching for deeper answers to why things happen are very quick to say “Upstairs” showed me a sign, and very reluctant to own and take responsibility for their creation. I’d like to share now another true story that happened [...]
True story: Sally’s car breaks down on the way to a job interview. Instead of rescheduling the interview, Sally cancels, taking it as a sign from her angels that she was not meant to take this job. Depending on your spiritual beliefs and education background you will either find that to be (a) inspirational and [...]
The Law of Attraction is one of those hot topics. People never seem to tire of debating why it’s true; why it’s false; or why everyone else just misunderstands it! (I’m in the 3rd category.) There have been a lot of great comments on this blog about the subjects of Law of Attraction (LOA) and [...]
