Last weekend I had the great joy of watching my 20-year-old son in his New York City debut as a professional dancer. He’s been dancing in Germany for two years, and the company, SemperOper Ballett, toured to the United States for the Fall for Dance Festival at City Center. As I watched him on stage, …

Many people think of me as a highly productive person. They ask me how I accomplish so much. They want to know my methodology for getting so much done. I don’t think of myself as a high producer or high performer. Yet, its true that I create a fair amount of written work, such as …
During Yom Kippur, Jewish congregations atone for a litany of communal sins. They range from common ones to ones you rarely hear or think about. One sin, however, always sticks in my mind, because it a misdeed I typically don’t think of as a sin: negative thinking. Don’t get me wrong. I believe strongly that …
Jews are told that on the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) “it is written” and on the Day of Repentance (Yom Kippur) “it is sealed.” What is “it”? Our fate for the next year. Where is it “written and sealed”? In the Book of Life. Most agree the Book of Life is figurative rather than …
Like most Jews, this week I observed the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. This is the time of the year when we begin thinking about how we behaved for the last twelve months and participate in the process of atoning for any wrong doings or wrong behavior. I see this as a chance for introspection and …

If you are like me, and like many people, your mind contains limiting beliefs. It tells you things like, “I’m not good enough,” “I’m unlovable,” “I can’t do it,” “I’m not smart enough,” “I’m fat,” or “I’m a coward.” These cause you to suffer from low self-esteem and to have a harder time achieving your …
Do you feel you are as happy as you can be right now? I know I don’t. But what if you could be phenomenally happy? What if tomorrow you woke up and your level of happiness had skyrocketed? Wouldn’t that be awesome? Of course it would. What it Takes to Become Happy But how would …
I’m a dreamer. How about you? But dreams don’t do us much good if they stay in our heads. I’ve been known to act on my dreams…even without a whole lot of planning or forethought. Sometimes that’s okay. It’s better to take action to make your dreams a reality than to do nothing at all. …
Have you ever watched a dancer or listened to a musician, read the words of a novelist or looked at the work of a artist and thought, “I wish I had that kind of talent.” Have you ever heard a story of a successful entrepreneur or inventor and told yourself, “I wish I could have …
On Saturday I had the honor of speaking at the San Francisco Writing for Change Conference. This is my favorite writing and publishing event of the year because the people who attend are all extremely passionate. They all want to write books and build businesses to further a cause or start a movement. They are …
The most common complaints I hear from the people I meet and coach is that they don’t have enough time. They may lack the time to take care of themselves, to meditate or to pursue their passions and goals. It really doesn’t matter what they don’t have time for, the end result is the same: …
Getting married and staying married are two entirely different things. It’s easy to get married. It’s not so easy to remain married. Marriages, just like all relationships, take work. From a Kabbalistic, or Jewish mystical, perspective this isn’t surprising. Just look at the spiritual, or mystical, history and importance of men and women and you’ll …
