Six Keys to Changing Almost Anything

by Tony Schwartz | 10:58 AM January 17, 2011 Change is hard. New Year’s resolutions almost always fail. But at The Energy Project, we have developed a way of making changes that has proved remarkably powerful and enduring, both in my own life and for the corporate clients to whom we teach it. Our method is grounded in the recognition that human being are creatures of habit. In 1911, the mathematician Alfred North Whitehead intuited what researchers would confirm nearly a century later.

Lojong Lojong (Tib. བློ་སྦྱོང་,Wylie: blo sbyong) is a mind training practice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on a set of aphorisms formulated in Tibet in the 12th century by Geshe Chekhawa. The practice involves refining and purifying one's motivations and attitudes. The fifty-nine or so slogans that form the root text of the mind training practice are designed as a set of antidotes to undesired mental habits that cause suffering.

How I Made $5500 Writing Books for Amazon Kindle | Sexy | Focused | Ambitious August marks 3 years since I’ve begun learning how to make money online in a residual (automated) manner. For the longest time, I’d experimented with niche and affiliate marketing, birthing websites focused on highly specific topics with WordPress and the Google Keyword Tool. Macro- or micro-authority, I learned that while I’m okay at putting together a niche and conceptualizing a site around it, my true strength has always been that of writing. I’m neither James Baldwin nor James Chartrand, however, my writing still flows with a sense of fluidity… perhaps too fluid. I started writing books in February 2011.
