Good Morning America interviews Steve Siebold
Posted by: | CommentsI just returned from being interviewed on Good Morning America in New York City, and i was really impressed with what a great job they did. Of all the TV interviews I’ve done on Mental Toughness, I like this one the best. They just posted the interview on the ABC NEWS website at http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=8437186
I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold
Europe is just as delusional about weight loss as America
Posted by: | CommentsI just returned from conducting the Bill Gove Speech Workshop in London, where I also did five national interviews on my new book, Die Fat or Get Tough: 101 Differences in Thinking Between Fat People and Fit People. It was an honor to be on the world-famous BBC network, but what I found was the Europeans are just as delusional about being fat as Americans are. What is the deal with delusional thinking on this subject? It’s amazing how otherwise smart, educated people around the world can get fat and blame everything outside of themselves for their failure. I’m getting death threat level emails from around the globe because fat people refuse to take responsibility for their own behavior. Incredible, wouldn’t you agree? One of the interviewers in London even said he couldn’t see the connection between being fat and having a satisfying sex life. Reality check: is fat really attractive? Do people really believe their spouses don’t see the fat? Can people actually delude themselves to this level of subjective silliness? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Self-Delusion is the Problem…Mental Toughness is the Answer
Posted by: | CommentsAfter being interviewed last Tuesday on the Today Show, FOX Atlanta, and NBC Australia, I’ve received THOUSANDS of emails…in addition to the massive numbers the networks have received. Bottom line: delusional thinking is FAR worse than I thought; at least around the btopic of weight loss and fitness. About 50% of the emails love the premise of self-responsibility, and the other half want to continue to blame everyone and everything but themselves. You can see the Today Show and FOX interviews on www.diefatbook.com My challenge to you is to listen to this post and see if you’re deluding yourself in some area of your life. I’m headed to Tampa tomorrow for two more TV interviews as well as a keynote speech, and then to Europe to conduct the Bill Gove Speech Workshop. I’m going to invest in some introspective analysis on all these flights in an attempt to uncover the areas of my life where I’m not doing as well as I could due of delusional thinking. I challenge you to do the same and post a comment about it. We only get one shot at life, guys. Why not be the best we can be? I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold
I’m headed to New York to be a guest on the NBC’s Today Show. My good friend Mark Victor Hansen was thier guest today, and he was dynamite as usual. The interview started out being centered around my new book, Die Fat or Get Tough: 101 Differences in Thinking Between Fat People and Fit People. There have been dozens of news stories written about the book around the country, and many of them have chosen to demonize the messenger instead of evaluating the message. This is classic middle class thinking, which the press is not immune to. That being said, I’m expecting a very fair interview on The Today Show. They’ve also asked me to talk more about the benefits of mental toughness for our Fortune 500 sales clients, as well as for life in general. On Wednesday morning, August 5th, I’ll be a guest on FOX Television’s Good Day Atlanta, also talking about the book and the mental toughness message. if you’re interested in getting a copy of the Die Fat Book, get it today at www.diefatbook.com We’ve been advised that with millions of people watching on Tuesday, we will sell out the first printing immediately, and won’t have additional copies for 2-3 months. Check out these shows if you have a chance. I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold
