Cris Baker is an authority on overcoming self sabotage, he's been screwing things up for years! :-) Much exposure to the fruits of bad choices has made Cris an expert in handling the stress which inevitably follows. Remaining sane meant he was forced to develop a highly effective experiential process to overcome the stress caused by any screwup.
His highly successful computer performance company was followed by www.LifeStrategies.net in the early 1990's when he realized that many of the same performance strategies used so successfully on computers are actually derived from real people! Life Strategies explains how to apply Life's fundamental principles to become more effective, avoid self-sabotage, and live the life you'd really love to live instead.
Much later, he founded ReduceStressNow.net which implements the lessons applied in Life Strategies to the highly practical subject of reducing stress.
Brief bio: Born in England at a very early age and now based in Gibraltar, Cris developed Life Strategies in North America last century. He enjoys public speaking, writing, helping people...
Many years ago, he decided that personal growth was important, and so would attend at least one such event a year. Most years, he has been to many more than one. Yet his life seems to have had many more failures than successes. He now shares his vast experience of how to overcome failure with those who would rather delegate than fail themselves. Clients thus avoid suffering failure's invariably uncomfortable consequences.
Cris personally knows the enormous truth in that brilliant paraphrase from Winston Churchill:
"The only thing man learns from history is that man does not learn from history."

The Drawbacks to Being Cynical. Part 4 in the Approach to Life series
Is being cynical the best approach to life? Does it beat being either skeptical or gullible? Being cynical is a very negative way to approach your life. A cynic focuses on the problems rather than the benefits, sees what could go wrong and says no. He tends to reject things and experiences he doesn't know about in advance. You can change your life by seeing that, until you've experienced something, how can you know anything about it? So cynicism will steer you clear of what's new and exciting.

Be Trustworthy, follow the Golden Rule - its Context can Change Your Life!
Disappointed is not the word for it! Not at what his email contained, but at what it didn’t say. Charles was a new friend, we'd met on a personal development course. He was American, I'm English Canadian, and we’d connected. He told me he was a real estate investor. “I do it both for myself and for clients who enjoy amazing returns, but don’t have the time or expertise to manage their investments themselves.”

Will Dictating One Single Policy to Each State Solve the Problem? Part 10 in The Right Response?
The Problem of Prescriptive Solutions Management theory is clear, prescriptive solutions do not work. Why not? A solution imposed from outside stops you creating your own solution tailored to your circumstances. Since you are unique, different to everybody else, how can one size fit you and everybody else? Anyone suggesting they know the one and only best solution for a country the size of a continent with a quarter of a billion people and the world's largest GDP therefore makes no sense (often written as one word: nonsense).

The power in Skepticism, the weakness of Cynics and the Gullible. Part 3 in the Self-Sabotage Series
Are you gullible? When somebody says something do you automatically believe them? Or do you automatically disbelieve, assume they have a hidden agenda, and discount everything they say? Both are reactions, yet a reaction, to re-act, to act again as you did last time, has little personal power. You simply defend what you already think, and put no energy into changing your life. Change Your Life Yes, but how? Evaluate another person's perspective and their evidence. The extra power comes when you invest your time, energy, and willingness to explore their position.
