In living memory, wealth was traditionally passed down through families to the firstborn son. Money stayed in the hands of men. At least in the Western world, this practice has become more or less completely obsolete. Because women live longer than men, perhaps because they invest more intelligently, Anders Ferguson estimates that at least […]
This is the last post I write in 2011, before we enter cautiously into the most hyped year in human history: two thousand and twelve. Rather like the latest Star Wars film, or Harry Potter book, the anticipation builds us up into such a state of frenzy that we may have no choice but to […]
By Arjuna Ardagh and Jonathan Robinson Over decades of working with people, individually and in groups, we have met the wealthy as well as the downtrodden, the victorious and the defeated. But one thing we have found is true for everyone: that deep down in each and every person alive, there is a unique flavor […]
(by Arjuna Ardagh and Jonathan Robinson) In last week’s tele-class, we talked about moving beyond belief. We saw that we are equally limited by the positive and negative beliefs we have about our self and about reality. The deepest, most unconscious and limiting beliefs that you and I hold are about who we are: about […]
by Arjuna Ardagh and Jonathan Robinson This Thursday we launch our new tele-seminar series on how to thrive in the new economy. Pretty much anywhere you go these days, you hear people talking about what a tough economy it is. Of course, unemployment is at alarmingly high levels, people are losing their houses, and many […]
Chameli and I have spent the last several weeks on the Greek island of Corfu, leading our annual Deeper Love retreat there. Couples and single people gathered from all over the world to dive into an exploration together of a love beyond the usual confines of personality habits. Every few days we’ve been getting concerned […]
Sometimes it seems like all we hear these days is talk of the tough economy. I actually conducted a little sociological experiment this weekend, and counted up how many times I heard people refer to the economy, and therefore current times in general, in a negative way. I got 43 hits, even though I stayed […]
It has become a cliche these days to hear sayings like “in this economic climate,” or “in these difficult times.” And of course it becomes a self-perpetuating prophecy. Are these statements the whole truth about today’s economic climate? First, people selling gizmos of various kinds, people who run restaurants, and folks in service industries, will […]
Arjuna dialogs with Success Coach Jack Canfield Arjuna: Jack, you are recognized as a great authority on success. In the last months, with changes in the economy, many people are re-evaluating what success is all about. First of all, it’s more difficult these days to make money and accumulate a lot of stuff because the […]
You may have noticed, we’ve been sending out news to our lists more frequently over the last weeks. “What’s got into you Arjuna? You used to be such a quiet, retiring kind of fellow. Suddenly you’re sending out email, like popcorn.” When you send out more frequently to a list, it is inevitable that some […]
With record prices at the pumps, both Freddy and Fannie looking really quite punch drunk, much of California covered in smoke, and an economic forecast gloomier by the day, many people today find that their response to our world has gradually shifted from patient optimism to concern to, well, freakin’ out. As a writer, public […]
