In Part 1 of this blog I suggested we are not alone, but connected to the 8 billion other people who we share our planet with. People either get this concept, or they don’t. Even if they get just a little bit it is often enough to catapult their life to at least the next level.
We will all face adversity at some point in our lives. How we choose to respond to it will have a major affect on our happiness, and the happiness of the people who surround us.
Clients often ask me where they can find creativity. I always have a few suggestions to offer. If there is a creative block then by definition they need to do something different.
About eight years ago two apparently unconnected events manifested in my life that would significantly change my life, and the way I work as a coach. In retrospect this is definitely an example of a Carl Jung synchronicity. It can change your life too.
Psychologist Carl Jung viewed luck as synchronicity, and described luck as a meaningful coincidence. So he, like me, believed that luck is not entirely random.
There are many examples of entrainment in nature. Animals synchronise their breeding cycles and sleep patterns. There is some evidence that humans do too – tapping tapping when listening to music, audience clapping together, etc. Entrainment is a good reason why meditation or deep reflective thought can be so beneficial, and how they might even magnify the law of attraction.
In the past I would use the words coincidence, chance, serendipity, collective unconscious, and synchronicity randomly as alternatives to the word luck. Little did I know that I was missing out on a huge opportunity to improve my life. The good news is that I am...
We are more reptilian than we might like to think Is it because of our reptilian brain that we find it so difficult to explain the extremes of human behaviour that we see in ourselves and in others? That is a pretty tough question to answer. I often use the...
I was introduced to the philosophy of the 3 principles about four years ago, and it did not immediately resonate with me. A friend rekindled my interest and as a result I have been incorporating these principles into my life on a daily basis for the last three years....
Podcast back by popular demand Tony Wrighton’s Zestology podcast channel is fast gaining a huge international following. Tony has a new format. It’s the Zestology Q and A, and this is the second one we’ve recorded. In this show we discussed....
How much free will do we have? How much of our personality is determined by our genes or by environmental factors? Most importantly how can we raise our game to at least the next level? This short video might just give you a few ideas.
This book describes a “theory of everything” which is founded explicitly and directly on Einstein‘s thinking. The relevant two key pillars of his thinking are, firstly, his insight that all time is relative and, secondly, a view of the world which Carl Jung called the...

Many people throughout the ages have believed in the existence of infinite intelligence, although they might have used different words to describe it. They feel that their best achievements have more to do with outside forces than their own undoubted ability. If this...
You have less control than you imagine. Control of our lives and the events that surround us is a very high priority for most people. We live in an uncertain world with many dangers and it is tempting to believe that much of this is within our personal control. The...
Do you control instinct, or does it control you? Instinct in animals is a subject that has always fascinated me. How do birds and fish navigate huge distances with pinpoint accuracy? How does a spider know how to construct its web? How do bees communicate navigational...
The Freud Enigma Is it possible that Sigmund Freud could have explained why we often make strange decisions? Freud is recognised as the founder of psychoanalysis and his work has played a huge part in the development of all subsequent talking therapies. He died in...
