The more I read about personal development, the more I realise that everyone has it all back to front. The goal shouldn’t be to improve ourselves. It should be to screw up as often as possible because that’s infinitely more interesting. If we lived in a perfect world then life wouldn’t be worth living. We … Continue Reading
Everyone thinks they are a good person, and why wouldn’t they? Most people don’t run around with axes or intentionally set out to hurt others and sadly this seems to be the barometer that we seem to judge ourselves on. ‘Well I haven’t chopped anyone up lately so therefore I must be a saint’. Yes … Continue Reading
Fear is one of the most frustrating emotions we can experience. Yes there is an evolutionary reason why we have it, but in today’s world, it can often just get in the way. It is the glass ceiling that prevents us from truly living and being the person we want to be. The brain likes … Continue Reading
If you’re clever (or were simply reading this blog way back in the days before the Mayans lied to us all) then you should remember that I wrote a prequel to this article titled ‘5 completely random and awesome ways to improve your brain’. Obviously there was far too much awesome to fit in one … Continue Reading
This selection of videos is simply for those occasions when you wake up in the morning and dread getting out of bed.

Life is basically one long ass experiment that we have to take part in. 70 plus years of trial and error where we all try to do our best to make the most of what we have without killing ourselves in the process. It’s a fine line. We all make mistakes. We all walk down … Continue Reading
Being a nice person is like a superpower. On paper it seems like you have all the tools needed to make friends, gain a good reputation and become a popular well liked person. Sadly like all superpowers it contains a big weakness, and your kryptonite is the very thing you are trying to achieve. By … Continue Reading
You may or may not have heard of the term ‘framing’ before. It’s not particularly that well known or talked about but it does come under many different guises so you should have read about something similar before. It’s basically the idea that you set a frame (or standard) that determines the behaviour of the … Continue Reading
If I were to ask you about the word ‘addiction’ you would no doubt conjure up images of Alcoholic anonymous meetings, the clinically obese and even Russell Brand. For that last bit I can only apologise. We’re all addicts though, in some form or other. Maybe our addictions aren’t immediately life threatening or create social … Continue Reading
I don’t know about any of you lot but I’m continually doing things which are either unhealthy or a total waste of time. Worrying about factors that are totally out of my control or stuffing my face with Doughnuts when I should be on a low carb diet. It’s normal, I’m human and I’m as … Continue Reading
(Photo by David Ramos/Getty Images) There have been many great comparisons over the years. Pele Vs Maradona, The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones, Federer vs Nadal, Bourbons vs Hobnobs. Yet in today’s world few match ups compare with the two dominant forces in world football right now, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It seems one … Continue Reading
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, or so they say anyway. In reality it makes us look back to our flawed younger self and all the dumb stuff we used to do. Life is an on-going process, a movie that just keeps moving forwards without giving us the opportunity to pause, rewind or to send the … Continue Reading
Talent is a funny old word. Everyone thinks they know what it means but at the same time almost all of us use it as a lazy way of describing ones skill level. It’s easy to look at someone who is at the top of their profession and immediately attribute their success to some form … Continue Reading
“Hey cheer up, it can’t be that bad. Pull yourself together” Anyone who has ever experienced depression knows how words such as those can really get our blood boiling. It’s no wonder many of us refuse to tell anyone about how we feel when we just KNOW what the common response will be. The … Continue Reading
I’m going to let you in on a little secret now okay. Ignorance is bliss. It always has been and it always will be. How can this be I hear you cry, well let me ask you something. Are you stupid? Be honest now. I won’t tell anyone, promise. If you are then you have … Continue Reading
