My Interests ...
providing information, ideas, and personal development tools, based on reason (thinking), research (science), and good conscience.
Because I am a Ph.D. (aka Doctor of Philosophy), I constantly study both philosophy and psychology, as I believe that good psychology requires good philosophy. I do not believe that all philosophical/psychological perspectives are created equal. A careful analysis of the major philosophical systems, in fact, strongly supports the conclusion that some philosophical perspectives lead to the exact opposite goals of those I describe in my mission statement.
Because there are vast differences between philosophical and psychological perspectives, it is important that I describe mine, in order that you be able to make an informed decision as to whether my approach suits the unique individual you are. I encourage to you read this page before deciding to use what I have to offer. Thank you.
