I was speaking in Philadelphia last week when the Boy Scouts of America announced that they would continue to ban gay kids from becoming Boy Scouts and Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender parents from being volunteer scout leaders. Since I wrote about my support of gay rights in my latest book; Sex-Politics-Religion: How Delusional Thinking is Destroying America, my phone has been ringing off the hook with requests for interviews. Watch this short video where I tell the story of my radio debate with three Christian Ministers from Harvard and Yale University and my personal meeting with Rev. Jesse Jackson. I’ll

Everyone wants to be rich, but few are willing to risk, save and invest. Everyone wants to be skinny, but few are willing to stick to a healthy diet. Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die! And the list goes on. We’ve all heard this question before, but it’s one worth pondering. Watch this short video I taped in Columbus, Ohio and I’ll look forward to your comments. [media id=199] Watch on YouTube

What’s your number? How much success, money, weight-loss, recognition, etc. is enough? Is greed really good, or is it the source of all unhappiness and root of all evil?

After training over 35,000 salespeople in 10 countries through our Mental Toughness University program, the evidence is in: the number one challenge for all of them is the fear of rejection. Whether it’s a salesperson at Johnson & Johnson or an entrepreneur working out of his studio apartment, the fear of being rejected and criticized costs them and their companies a fortune. The good news is there is a little-known mental toughness secret that solves this problem, and this is what this post is about. Watch this short video I shot today in Atlanta and I’ll look forward to your comments.

My new book, Sex, Politics and Religion: How Delusional Thinking is Destroying America was released yesterday in ebook format. The hard copy will be out in a few weeks. Yesterday we posted a landing page WARNING people not to buy the book if they fell into several emotionally-fueled categories, and the phone has been ringing off the hook. Half the callers thanked us for the WARNING and having the courage to write this book  and the other half were outraged by the WARNINGS! This book takes on 50 of the most controversial social issues in America and challenges American’s to approach

This is one of the most misunderstood mental toughness techniques in modern psychology. It’s used to extremes by professional athletes, Navy Seals, and psychopaths. If you’re looking to make a quantum leap in results in some area of your life, watch this video I taped in Times Square in New York City. Psychological conversion is one of the flashiest, sexiest and most powerful of all mental training techniques due to the massive results it produces. Try it for yourself and see what you think. And please accept my apologies for the Chinese guy harassing me during the taping. Only in New

Thanks to everyone who commented on the last post. As always, it was a passionate, robust discussion. One of the great, yet under-used mental toughness tools is the concept of starting over in place of repairing, patching and improving in areas we’re dissatisfied in. Watch this short video I shot in Phoenix and I’ll look forward to your comments.   Steve Siebold  (1:48 ) [media id=193] Watch on YouTube

Critical thinking and organized religion have and will always clash, and my public knock-down drag-out in Oklahoma City with a Catholic Priest is a prime example. I didn’t go in looking for a fight, but when I openly challenged this man of the cloth with a critical thinking question he couldn’t answer, he attacked me and didn’t expect an equal response. Whether you’re a person of faith, an atheist or anywhere in between, it’s hard to dispute the fact that the problem with religious leaders and their doctrine is their unwillingness to undergo the scientific and critical thinking scrutiny that every

One of the most frequently asked questions I get on speaking and book tours is “where can I network with the rich?” Even in the midst of the great recession, the wealthy can be found everywhere. That being said, they do have their favorite places, and that’s where I’ve been interviewing them for the past 28 years. Palm Beach, Sydney, London, Manhattan, Aspen, Palm Springs are just a few. I’m spending this week in one of them, and the streets here are paved with gold chock full of people with more money than then they know what to do with and

The last post uncovered a lot of emotional responses, which was one of the goals. The definition of critical thinking is making decisions based on greater criteria, devoid of emotion. The problem with emotion is it clouds judgment and reduces our ability to think at the highest range of our potential. This is one of the major obstacles to world-class success, and 90% of us fall into this trap. I would challenge anyone interested in this concept to read the comments on the Rush Limbaugh post and see how many people actually addressed my point and question. Over 80% of the
