After reading the post on Steve Pavlina’s site on how to build a stronger ego, I realised that he was speaking directly to some of the concerns I’d been having recently.  I’ve talked a lot before about the ego, and how it is a force in our lives that we would do well to recognise.  [...]

I’ve mentioned previously that I was re-reading the book How to win friends and influence people.  I’ve just finished it and while there is heaps of great material contained in that book, I found some of it contrasts with what I’ve come to understand and accept recently from writings such as The Power of Now.

For as long as I remember, I’ve known the term ego.  We nearly all know what it is… it’s basically just another word for pride.  Or at least, that’s how it is most often framed.  When we see someone acting up, they’re being a bit hoity-toity, we are likely to throw the term ego in [...]

It’s been a few weeks since my second life coaching session and there is a lot to write about.  I actually had my 3rd session there on Tuesday so I figured rather than write 2 separate posts, I’d combine the two and see what I could relay from them.
