Who is that shy man in casual clothes and running shoes speaking in front of hundreds of people about mental health and life balance? It’s me. Welcome to my world. I ripped off President John F. Kennedy’s famous quote and applied it to my personal philosophy: “Ask not how life is treating you. Ask how you are treating life.” There’s little we can control about the uncertainties that life delivers at our doorstep. But we are always free to choose what we do with life’s curve balls. And the nature of our mental health and well-being comes from realizing that what happens each day happens for us, not to us. As a psychotherapist with 25 years of experience and an author of 40-plus self-help books and writer of several murder mysteries, I practice the balance between work and play with the tagline, “I heal by day and kill by night.” You can choose below which portal you wish to enter first: my serious side or my playful side. Safe travels…
