- How Much Is Enough - by Submitted on Mar 28, 2012 from Joe VitaleThink about this… As long as we talked about an imaginary success, it was fine. But when I reported an actual success, it wasn’t fine. What’s the difference? In my experience, it’s often safe to imagine what you want but not safe to actually manifest it. Obviously, there’s a ...
Views: 1174 - What's the #1 Thing People Do Wrong? - by Submitted on Mar 11, 2013 from Joe VitaleI admit it. I'm frustrated. I'm tired of getting emails from people who write, "I can't do what you did because ---." Just fill in the blank with whatever excuse you can think of. People say they can't write as many books as I have because they don't have the time, or they're too old, or too ...

Views: 1115 - The “59 Seconds” Self Help Book - by Submitted on Dec 01, 2013 from Joe VitaleWhen ABC News interviewed me for their upcoming show on the pros and cons of positive thinking and the Law of Attraction, one of their questions was, “Why are there so many self-help books?” Apparently a published skeptic felt that if self-help books really worked, we wouldn’t need so many of ...
Views: 1094(2 votes) - How to Treat People - by Submitted on Nov 30, 2013 from Joe VitaleA reader watched my DVD, Humbug, and emailed me this question: “Was there one point in your life that was the turn around?

Views: 1071 - The Win-Win-Win - by Submitted on Dec 18, 2012 from Joe VitaleA little-known secret to attracting success in all areas of life is to look for the win-win-win in every relationship. •I don’t want to win but have the other side lose. •I don’t want just a win-win, either, though both sides winning is pretty cool. •I want to complete the circuit with ...
Views: 1052 - The Secret Process Nobody Wants You to Know - by Submitted on Nov 15, 2013 from Joe VitaleIf you’ve ever doubted that you could accomplish something, you’ll love this story. A year ago I hadn’t written a single song, couldn’t carry a tune, didn’t have a solid beat, only knew a few guitar chords, and never sang in public or in the studio. Today I have my first singer-songwriter ...

Views: 998 - Attracting Harry Potter’s Magic Guitar - by Submitted on Oct 03, 2013 from Joe VitaleWhen I was a kid I asked my parents for a guitar for Christmas. I was probably under ten years old.

Views: 990 - Brain Yoga, or Who's Driving your Mental Bus? - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2012 from Joe VitaleI love the field of neuroplasticity. It’s so empowering. It basically states that your brain can be molded like plastic — and it can be reshaped and rewired by you. Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz’s latest book, You Are Not Your Brain, written with Rebecca L. Gladding, M.D., is a great example. It’s in ...

Views: 969 - Who First? - by Submitted on May 16, 2012 from Joe VitaleThe other day I stopped at the local gas station to fuel up my new all electric car. No, that’s not a typo. The Fisker Karma is all electric, but uses a gas generator to power the electric motor when the stored electricity runs out. So you have to put fuel in it sometimes. It’s possible to ...
Views: 961 - Are You On the Right Path? - by Submitted on Nov 02, 2013 from Joe VitaleI flew to Houston recently to do one thing: test drive a Spyker, a hand made exotic super car from Holland. It was a departure from my usual way of doing things. I never take a day off to fly to another city just to see a car. But it felt right. It felt like I almost couldn’t stop myself from ...

Views: 929 - My Lunch With God - by Submitted on Jul 15, 2011 from Joe VitaleLast Wednesday I had lunch with God. I didn’t know he was God at first.

Sitting with him, he looked like ...
Views: 910(3 votes) - The Fallacy of Outside Forces - by Submitted on Apr 14, 2012 from Joe VitaleThe other night a friend from years ago visited.

He said outside forces were to blame. He knew all the right things to do, did ...
Views: 903 - The Money Mind Trick - by Submitted on Oct 19, 2013 from Joe VitaleA massage therapist I know asked me if he should start asking people to donate money for his services rather than pay a specific price.

Views: 899 - Mind Poop - by Submitted on May 12, 2013 from Joe VitaleYou’ve probably heard the phrase, “He’ll get over it.” It’s usually said after someone has been hurt by a statement.

Views: 851 - What Are You Dismissing? - by Submitted on May 04, 2012 from Joe VitaleI had lunch with a dear friend the other day.
