how it started

In 1982, I found myself — and my family — in a near car accident, facing an imminent death.


I watched in amazement as I entered into a flow state in which my conscious and subconscious minds worked seamlessly together to save our lives. It was a peak experience for me. After that, I dedicated my life to figuring out how to live in this flow state.

After more than 30 years of research, I arrived at a method that worked, not just for me, but for everyone I taught it to. I call this method Emotional Response-Ability™ — and it relieves stress, tames reactivity, eliminates negativity, stops brooding rumination, and preempts procrastination. The resulting state is one in which you flow through life as a force of nature.

Now, I help others approach their lives the same way. It’s very gratifying work.
