Is Israel Doomed?
Posted by: | CommentsI want to personally thank the Canadian press for their continued interest in this blog. As you know, this community has several thousand subscribers around the world and some of the sharpest minds you’ll find making comments on any blog. We appreciate your support. Two reporters in the Canadian press asked us to take on some larger issues happening in the world within the framework of mental toughness and critical thinking. The next day Iran’s supreme leader makes yet another delusional statement: Israel is doomed. This is a man who claims to be a religious leader and presides over the welfare of 72- million Iranian citizens. This is the same guy (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) who say’s Israel is a “cancerous tumor” and “must be wiped off the map” This is another reason the critical thinkers of the world have to continue to stand up, speak out, and get rid of these delusional leaders operating at a 4th grade level of consciousness. ( surely an insult to all 4th graders-my apologies!) As always, I can’t wait to hear what you guys have to say about this—and either can the Canadian press! This audio post is 4 minutes.

How Rich People Think
Posted by: | CommentsMy new book, in bookstores this June, is called How Rich People Think. In 26- years of interviewing the super-rich, I’ve uncovered their greatest secret: Leverage. While the middle class is worried about everything from who’s going to win the SuperBowl to Jennifer Anniston’s love life, the rich are studying the new thought leaders who are emerging in this global economic meltdown. It’s an easy prediction that the rich will get richer as they figure out the most effective way to leverage the new dynamics of this new economy. Listen to this post as I share some of the secrets the wealthy have shared with me. I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold
The case for legalizing marijuana
Posted by: | CommentsCritical thinking question: why is alcohol legal in the United States while pot is illegal? Alchohol is stronger and more destructive than marijuana, yet the government doesn’t seem to recognize this. The estimated annual tax revenue on the sales of marijuna is $10-14 billion dollars, and the government needs the money. Who is the government to tell rational thinking adults what they can and can’t do in the privacy of their own homes? Independent thinkers started this country and we’re the only people strong enough to take it back. We need to take a hard look at governments expanding role in our daily lives and decide whether we need these people telling us how to live our lives. I’ll look forward to hearing your comments.
