Change your thinking and all else will follow.

Thank you for your interest in my on-line course.

Over the next few weeks you can learn to become a 3-Minute Thinker.

Enroll in my on-line course and you’ll learn to use some powerful techniques like a karate expert in thinking. You’ll also have a chance to apply the techniques to finally solve that nagging problem, or make that pesky decision, or resolve that irritating conflict, whether personal or business. Guaranteed.

You can use these techniques by yourself or else in groups, with colleagues, clients, students, patients, children, etc.

My on-line course is based on my work with thousands of corporate executives, educators, professionals and others through workshops, seminars and one-on-one sessions since 1980.

How it works

Once per week for the next 13 weeks I’ll send you an email with a new lesson demonstrating one of my practical 3-Minute Thinking techniques. The lesson will also ask you to apply the technique to your particular issue – decision, problem or conflict – and invite you to send me your feedback.

I will personally send you reminders and feedback, and observations or suggestions about your use of the technique. The idea is to make the course as interactive as possible while still enjoying the anonymity and convenience of email.

Many people spend thousands of dollars seeing therapists, marriage counselors or mediators, to help them make decisions, solve problems or resolve conflicts, usually by dealing with the feelings that are getting in the way. My approach is different: help people learn to focus the power of their minds using simple but powerful cognitive techniques so that they can do it themselves.

Q: What about feelings?

A: Change your thinking and the feelings will likely catch up.

Q: Can you really change behaviors?

A: Change your thinking and the behaviors will likely follow.

Your investment

Each lesson should take you about 15 minutes to read, practice, apply and reply. One lesson a week for 13 weeks comes to a bit over 3 hours total time invested. Plus a nominal financial investment. And it’s guaranteed (see below).

Consider the benefits:

· Learn to treat thinking as a skill that you can improve with practice over time

· Learn and practice some powerful 3-Minute-Thinking techniques

· Apply the techniques to finally resolve some unresolved issue

· Use the techniques alone or share and use with others (family, students,

patients colleagues, etc.)

· Get feedback from impartial, fellow thinkers
