Attracting Women

Understand precisely what masculinity is, and isn't.

 Winning at Work

Every man ever born has a built-in instinct to pursue success - often financial - but "luck" is not part of that equation...

 Being of Worth

Sometimes it's so subtle how you feel cut downs by women, or at work - your invisible personal boundary is the cure!

The Power of Masculine Words

I'd like to turn your attention this week to something remarkable about words and their power, their confusion, and the importance of action in making things right. You might say this is especially about the complex and sophisticated workings of one of your core powers in the Mature Masculine Power Program.

The Power of Hypnosis and "Men of Straw"

After so many years of teaching men stories that explain our psychology, the one at the core of it all - The Count of Monte Cristo - still continues to inspire new ideas. What a surprise to hear that perhaps the greatest mentor to men in history - Abbe Faria - from the same work, was based on a real figure from psychology before it became psychology.

Immediate Respect from Women and Strength at Work

All it is is a simple circle. That's what I started with. After hundreds and hundreds of pages of the psychiatry texts of my training, hardly ever were Personal Boundaries even mentioned. And yet they are the most powerful force (beyond our passions), and one of the only forces that make us HUMAN (as opposed to advanced animals.)

Reinventing Yourself as a New Man

You've likely had some experiences in the major areas of life that made you just want to start over from scratch - a whole new identity, a whole new life, and a whole new you living in it. These may be areas such as finances, your relationships with women, your health, weight, or appearance, and even in your spirituality.

Some of these currently have societal remedies - for example, bankruptcy for your finances.

Some of the remedies for them are instant - for example, plastic surgery for your appearance.

What the "Midnight Hour" Gives You as a Man

When I went to see Woody Allen's film, Midnight in Paris, I was told it's a "romantic comedy" about a bad relationship, and expected all kinds of lessons about attraction, dating and marriage. I didn't at all expect that it was going to be an equally thought provoking guide to career choices coming from our inexplicable experiences with the unexpected. That it would treat the two prime concerns of men in the form of women and work in equal balance, or how it is that the hour of midnight has a role in a man's life, were the biggest surprises of all.

Think Like a Surfer, Not an Accountant

Many guys struggle with career decisions such as what to choose in a job, when to quit, how to navigate the corporate politics, or how to even stay afloat in this economy in the first place. Very few have a "bird's eye view" on what their likely future path is going to be in career, as most of us at least some of the time, tend to "wing it." It turns out that this might be the whole point - that in discovering and executing on what it is that you were meant to do in life, it's better to have the mentality of a surfer than an accountant.

How To Be Confident With Women

I have found that in getting very precise with exactly what a word means contains a great deal of power and practicality.

When we are too vague, as in self-help, there is no reliable, repeatable way to work on a skill. When we are too technical in language, the words become uninspiring, unemotional and not enough to move us into action or change.

Which is why I’ve defined precisely nearly every common word in psychology and self-help for you.
