There is an old
joke that says, “Sex after 60 is better than ever, but the mounting and
dismounting aren’t so pretty.” If you’re laughing, you know what I’m
talking about. If not, you’re still young enough to have something to
look forward to. I attended a conference recently featuring Steve Pavlina,
the number one blogger on personal development. The topic was about
expanding traffic to your blog and one of his ideas was to write about
something ‘timeless’, something that lots of people have in common and
that breaks the mold of everyone’s expectations. Well, my writing has
been about transforming our notions of growing older and to encourage
intergenerational dialogue, so what better topic to muse on than SEX.[ Read More]

I read somewhere that good
decision-making—indeed, good relations—depends upon a virtuous cycle of

which can easily be interrupted). Attitude, after all, is everything.
Perhaps that last statement needs a bit of refinement: the ethical attitude is everything. By that I mean the determination of the answer to the age-old question: who is right? Was Harold right to[ Read More]

There is a phenomenon I point to in my
work called “already listening”. This is akin to the ‘little voice’ in
our heads that goes on and on about everything. It is our internal and
automatic ‘judgment muscle’. It is called already listening because it
is what we bring to a conversation before anyone speaks. It is the
“pre” filter that is always organizing what we think. It is not the
same as hearing. We can all hear the same thing, but not ‘listen’ the
same thing. Already listening is mostly cultural and always
historical—it is based on our past. Already listening isn’t good or bad, but when we are unconscious about it,[ Read More]

I caught a Larry King interview the other night in which he
was speaking with a bunch of positive-thinking gurus about their
beliefs and theories. One of the questions he asked was, “Do you have
any bad days”? Most of them said they don’t have bad days, and a couple
said that they still have ‘bumps’ in the road but recover quickly. I
got to thinking about my own life and concluded that I too can claim
that I don’t have bad days, although some are more challenging than
others.
How
can I account for this fact of my life? [ Read More]
