Posted in Headline, Personal on 11 May 2008

This is a conversation about the book, the writer’s process, and his insights.

The questions are deliberate: they are asked from the level of ‘the initiate’. It is an early stage when one is seeking a pre-supposed gratification from wisdom, such as ‘How can it make me more money? Be more attractive? Seduce more partners?’ Some of the most profound advice is lost on ears because the seeker is only looking for pre-defined answers, thus focusing on what they want and missing what they are getting.

Change
Posted in Business, Personal on 7 August 2007
