Can you change your whole world by changing what you believe?   In a word, yes!   In this episode of the Principles series, I talk about changing core beliefs.   Most of us do not choose what it is we believe.

And what is worse, they are not serving us!   Join me as I provide practical strategies for changing core beliefs. This empowers you to choose the life you want to live, instead of life being inflicted upon you.   Click the play button above and listen to the show.     Need some help?

You don't have to argue to get what you want. Arguments are poison to relationships. Typically no single argument is enough to end them. But the accumlation of several is too much for most relationships to bare. The alternative for most people is to not say anything. They sit on their needs, and resentment brews in silence. This is also terrible for relationships. A better solution is having healthy conflict resolution strategies. I was a recently a guest on the Be Yourself and Love It podcast, hosted by Antony Sammeroff. We discussed my free relationship guidebook, Turning Arguments into Discussions. Within, you'll learn strategies to stop arguing without sitting on your needs. You don't have to argue to get what you want.

Why do carbs make you fat? The science is very clear. Eating a lot of carbohydrates makes you fat. And eating a low carb, high fat diet leads to weight loss. But why is this? The answer is hormones. All food is not created equal. The body responds differently when you eat carbohydrates. It sends signals that tell the body to store fat. In this episode, I detail the science behind weight gain. And more importantly, I give a successful strategy for weight loss THAT IS EASY TO FOLLOW. One that doesn't need you to count calories or carbohydrates.

To lose weight, you just need to eat less and move more, right? Not so fast! Mainstream media, doctors, and health pundits have been promoting eat less, move more for decades. The logic being you want calories in to be less than calories out. This sounds logical. Then why doesn't it work? Millions of people try to follow this advice, but the failure rate is insane. Over 96% of people are not able to keep the weight off. And the population as a whole is becoming more and more obese. Why? Today I bring you the answer.

What if rewarding your child psychologically damaged them? Best Selling author, Alfie Kohn, joins Stephen Patterson and I for a discussion about parenting and education. For some people, it's a hard sell that punishment is bad for children. Don't they need discipline? Plus, the whole spare the rod spoil the child thing. Others are on board with not punishing, but surely praise and gold stars are a good thing, right? Isn't positive reinforcement good? Alfie presents the case, using study-based scientific evidence, that rewards are not the opposite of punishments, they are two sides of the same coin. Both are psychologically damaging. Both are not ideal for effectively encouraging (or discouraging) behavior.
