“The strife is o’er,” as the hymn goes — I’m all done recording the Work Consciously Audio Course.  I’m writing up the “liner notes” right now — that’s what I like to call them, anyway, because it has me feel like I’m releasing a rock and roll album.
In the meantime, I’d like to share with you [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of speaking recently to groups of job-seeking professionals (one reason I’ve been MIA on the internet for two weeks), and predictably I tend to get questions about dealing with job interview anxiety.
But if I get the chance to explore the issue more deeply with people, I often find that they’re [...]

Just wanted to keep you all updated on the state of play here at Edgar HQ and on Edgar Force One — I can’t say which one I’m at right now for national security reasons: 
New Bay Area Meetup
I’ve started a Meetup group in San Jose, California, which I’m using to offer free evening [...]

I admit it — I have moments when I doubt the value of everything I do in my life.  I doubt whether I’m really interested in my work.  I question whether the relationships in my life are worthwhile.  I seriously consider whether I’d prefer a life of solitary, cave-dwelling meditation.

(I’m still tweaking the Work Consciously site a bit, so I thought I’d tide you all over with my latest musing.)
Earlier this month, as you probably heard, only 51% of the Americans surveyed in a Conference Board study reported that they find their jobs interesting — the lowest number in 22 years.  On the surface, [...]

I’m excited to share with you my recent interview with life coach, author and speaker Tess Marshall.  Tess is the author of Flying By The Seat Of My Soul and the inspiring blog The Bold Life.
In this interview, you’ll learn:
* The amazing story of Tess’s journey from being a teenage mother selling dried flowers to [...]

I suspect we all have moments when we gripe to ourselves, or others, “why am I doing this?”  Perhaps we’re thinking about our career, troublesome relationships in our lives, our exercise routines, or something else.  Usually, we aren’t really interested in the answer—it’s just something we say to ourselves when we hit a certain depth [...]

One thing that’s hit home for me, in giving workshops on using meditation and other spiritual practices to transcend procrastination, is how deeply personal and unique everyone’s hangups and concerns about their careers are.  To use procrastination as an example, some people put off working to avoid anxiety about how others will receive what they [...]

Because I’m excited about it, I wanted to share with you the flyer for the first in a series of public talks I’ll be giving called “The Productive Mind And Heart.”  This one will be held at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California on Wednesday, February 18.
I’ll be speaking about some of the ideas I discuss [...]

I recently wrote a piece at The Change Blog about the basic elements of what I call “inner productivity”—the ideal mental and emotional state for peak productivity and creating our best-quality work.  In this article, I take a deeper look at the common ways of thinking that keep us from developing inner productivity, and offer [...]
