Have you been feeling the ground shifting beneath your feet of late? This may be no surprise with today’s world in serious flux – including our recent weather patterns.

With the arrival of a new year, I thought it might be fun to share two tools you can use for reinventing your life in 2011. Both are based on the assumption that developing a vision for the future in the persistent rush of day-to-day living is like expecting two feet of snow to depart [...]

Sure enough, after a recent visit of this clean-up impulse, I found myself adding [...]

Regardless of whether these clients were [...]
I’ve been wending my way through The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain by Barbara Strauch. This very readable book gathers findings of numerous scientific studies into an unexpectedly positive picture of the midlife brain’s capacity.
