Hi there,
While I would much rather talk about you than about myself, I do realize you're probably dubious about some of the claims made on this site. After all, there's a ton of trash online - I know, since I see it every day. It's unbelievable what is being touted as self help or personal development advice. A healthy dose of pessimism is your safest bet when browsing online.
Perhaps it's time that I introduced myself to you properly.
The first thing you should know is that I'm a little weird. Even the few friends I have tell me I'm totally wacko; I've lost the plot; I'm not rowing with two oars. I mention this because the stuff you'll learn in Fresh Wisdom will give you insights into how this world works that is seriously different to mainstream mentality. Depending on what type of people you associate and spend time with, this material has the potential to isolate you from your friends trapped in their humdrum lives. You see, most people do things without ever questioning why. They do things purely because that's what their parents did, and that's what their friends do. Conventional wisdom, which is hardly ever effective. And so the cycle of insanity is repeated over and over again, even though it produces results that suck. Fresh Wisdom, on the other hand, is dangerously controversial stuff, and you'd better be careful who you discuss the concepts with... But more about that later.
So, if I'm such a nutcase, why on earth should you spend your time here?
Excellent question, and one which deserves a thorough answer. I can think of three reasons:
Here's a little known secret about many of the books you'll find online: they're usually written by ghost writers who have been contracted to write on a particular topic that someone thinks will be lucrative. I couldn't believe this myself, but a quick search on some of the popular outsourcing sites confirmed this. Essentially, many of the books available online consist purely of a collection of information publicly available and packaged up nicely, all put together by someone who has no knowledge of the subject matter at all.
Every single word of Fresh Wisdom has been written personally by me. It's taken more than 15 years of research and almost 3 full years of editing and rewriting to ensure that every concept is succinctly explained and makes sense. It's not purely some rehashed garbage, or worse, plagiarized content stolen from someone else's website - it is totally unique concepts refined over years of research.
And here's another little secret about books by well-known authors: they are essentially calling cards to more expensive services offered by the author. Think about it: an average book sells for around $20 in a book store, of which the author receives usually 3% in royalties. That's 60c per book sold. No wonder so many authors are paupers - it's no way to earn a living. So instead of sharing everything the author knows, they will usually keep the really juicy bits, the info that has the greatest potential to change your life, for their higher priced products. They use the book to convey their expertise and to build credibility so that you'd be willing to invest in more of their programs. You can prove this for yourself by visiting your favorite author's home page and browsing their Products page.
Fresh Wisdom is different: I've held absolutely nothing back. Every last thing I've learnt in the past 15 years of study and research is condensed into this book. I don't have any other products to offer you. This is it - my life's work condensed into one volume.
Here's another secret from the book publishing world: publishers will not accept a book which spans more than one niche topic. Published books must fit neatly into well established categories: health, wealth, religion, personal development, etc. Books which span two or more categories are summarily dismissed, no matter how useful their content. The reasons for this are complex, but mainly it has to do with marketing. Publishers believe that consumers only ever have one need at a time, and that specific needs should have specific solutions. The study of niches is a fascinating topic, which I won't bore you with now. If you'd like to test this concept, try finding a publisher who will publish any multi-category book. You will be astounded by their complete indifference.
I've always believed that life is inter-related: what you eat affects your sex life, what you earn affects what you eat, your overall wellness affects your world view, your spiritual beliefs influence your beliefs about what wealth means. If everything is interconnected, why should good books not celebrate this net of inter-relatedness? That's where Fresh Wisdom is different: together we explore how every aspect of our lives is influenced by other aspects. It's a fascinating study!
The origin of the word eclectic is the Greek word eklektikos which means "selective," or literally "picking out". It was originally used to describe a group of philosophers who selected their favorite doctrines from every known system to create their own, new philosophy - essentially choosing the best and discarding the rest. Almost like eating a bunch of grapes: any with a slight blemish are discarded, while the perfectly juicy grapes are relished; all their goodness is extracted in the form of nourishment for the body.
What those Greek philosophers realized is that the wider the choice, the better the resulting philosophy. Or put another way: we don't know what we don't know. By accessing hundreds or thousands of different ideas, principles and concepts we create a wider choice, allowing us to select the best from a far larger smorgasbord of delights.
Here's a tip worth remembering: when seeking anyone's opinion on a particular matter, consider first how widely read they are. Are they close-minded or are they open to widely differing, often conflicting ideas? Are they dogmatic - meaning they're pig-headed in their beliefs, whether they're sufficiently provable or not? Or are they willing to consider others opinions? Are their beliefs set in stone, or are they willing to change previously held beliefs when presented with compelling new evidence? The more open-minded the individual, the more valuable their advice.
Why am I mentioning this?
Because I'm about as open-minded as you'll ever get to meet, on account of being very widely traveled.
You see, I was very lucky in a previous life. At the tender age of 25, I decided I wanted to see the world, but at someone else's expense. As luck would have it, my various employers sent me all over the world so that I could sell their high-priced computer systems. Part of selling meant entertaining locals in non-touristy locations. Let's just say that I've seen more of this planet we call home than most. I've lived in 16 cities in 8 countries on 5 continents. In my travels I learned from Eastern mystics and Western philosophers; I've practiced Eastern medical practices which are banned in the West, and I've been privileged to learn the Eastern view on relationships, ownership and inter-dependence vs. the Western view of independence. My enquiring mind has been almost overwhelmed with foreign concepts the average Westerner will never be exposed to.
And while not all of these concepts were beneficial, every single lesson learned was valuable to me, because it allowed me to select a world view from a much wider smorgasbord of philosophies. Like the eclectic Greek philosophers of old, I've been fortunate enough to pick and choose from the very best of both Eastern and Western ideologies.
So, what you're getting in Fresh Wisdom is not a collection of half-baked, regurgitated ideas from a close-minded bigot. You're getting a distillation of global concepts from someone who's been around the block. I think you'll find them refreshing.
Fresh Wisdom is available on Amazon or as an immediate digital or audio download. The button below takes you straight to the order page, or continue browsing the site to validate my passion for getting to the truth before making a purchase. A good place to start is the 6 Minute Tutorial on How to Change Your Life.
Here is what you can expect in Fresh Wisdom:
We start by explaining that a happy, fulfilled life is based on balancing these 5 principles (we call them the 5 Essential Pillars of Fulfilled Living):
Ultimate Health and Longevity: We provide techniques and strategies for enjoying good bodily health, free from pain and discomfort, to at least age 120 (and that is not a misprint);
Romance, Love and Relationships: We provide tips and ideas to build fascinating relationships, because without love, meaningful romance and secure relationships, it is almost impossible to lead a fulfilled life;
Independent Wealth Creation: We do not teach implausible magic tricks that will turn you into a millionaire overnight. Instead we show the history of money and where it has been desecrated. We show the difference between value creation and value extraction. We then provide a unique system that enables you to accumulate sufficient money to live without fear, completely independent of 'the system';
Metaphysical Realities: We explain metaphysics, Quantum Mechanics and the Omega Point in clear, easy to understand language. We show how these are important in understanding why you are here and how these scientific studies promote a true happiness from within in accordance with the laws of nature and without the influence of fables and traditions (and this is not a religion);
Sovereignty and Personal Privacy: We show why it is so important to protect your individual sovereignty and provide strategies to protect and keep what is rightfully yours.
Fresh Wisdom is the only known Life Manual that combines strategies which cover these five essential pillars of a fulfilled life. Most books and websites focus on one area only, to the detriment of others. If any of these pillars are unbalanced in your life, you are more than likely living a life of mediocrity - you are gathering crumbs instead of feasting at the banquet table. You are succumbing to the influence of others you have never even heard of, instead of living your own, fulfilled life. And this is not a criticism of you - it is a criticism of a system which has entrapped and enslaved so many.
By the end of Fresh Wisdom you will have a completely different way of looking at the world. You will be able to interpret why things happen the way they do. But more importantly, you will know what to do in any situation life may throw your way.
We look forward to showing you step-by-definite-step to a life completely free of external interference. Trust us; it is exhilarating, heady, thrilling and electrifying.
Get ready for the ride of your life!
Fresh Wisdom suggests that there most definitely is a purpose to life, and it's a lot more exciting than anything you've heard to date. Read more...
If I had known about Fresh Wisdom before I made some of the major decisions in my life, I would have avoided much pain and conflict. Fresh Wisdom makes you think and question everything, which is its ultimate goal, for sleeping people are easy to control. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Anyone who has been asleep will wake up through this book and my wish for them is that they will find their own path to freedom, as I am finding mine and be encouraged that, whilst our paths are unique, we are working together. Maybe the World will change by our examples, maybe it won't. It's really none of our business. My business is my life, my love, my freedom and my joy and I wish you all well and may YOUR business flourish.

There were many heart-stopping moments of disbelief, sleepless nights, weeping and incredible sense of sadness mixed with anger. It was all good for what came out of it all is such a sense of freedom, freedom to be able to think independently for the first time in my life. I believe life is an on going journey of self discovery that never gets done because it is eternal and that the pursuit of knowing God takes us deep within ourselves in the still waters of our soul where the deep calls to the deep. Thank you and blessings
