I give really good advice. Seriously I do. It isn't so much that I help people solve their immediate problems, it is that I help them think more clearly about their problems so that they can solve them in a way they are going to feel REALLY good about. The people I help tell me I have transformed their lives. The approach I teach is called Humanism and it has been around since, well, forever. The three main aspects of the philosophy I teach is how to make better decisions thru critical thinking. How to improve your relationships thru compassion and how to infuse your life with meaning and purpose by applying your ethics actively to all your decisions, not just the big ones.
I am the host of this website and the author of The Bully Vaccine which teaches an operant conditioning approach to the problem of bullying.
Focusing on the form the harassment takes – is focusing on the wrong thing. The problem isn’t the specific behavior. It’s the use of harassment to oppress or subjugate people that is the problem.
The laws – aren’t even working for lawyers and that’s because all the laws do is provide remedies for people who are victims – but only if they can prove it or have the money to hire a lawyer. And guess what – most law firms – represent the company – not the person claiming to be a victim? Why – because that’s who has the money to pay for lawyers.
Confidence is not something anyone gets magically. This is not a some people have it and some don’t sort of skill. You just have to practice it. And you do that by liking yourself enough that other people’s negativity just doesn’t bother you. And they way you get to the point you like yourself enough to not be bothered by negative people, is by doing the things that bring you joy.
