Mon, 09 Apr 2018 16:02:07 +0000 Long before the current kerfuffle around Tony Robbins' dismissal of the #MeToo movement, I’d been talking to friends about how the self-development movement in its current incarnation is doing us all a disservice. For those who haven’t been following the news, Tony Robbins was at his "Unleash the Power Within" event in San Jose, CA, when he spoke about how the #MeToo movement is about…
Mon, 19 Mar 2018 15:41:16 +0000 I was a journalist in London in the 1990s, when I felt the call to give it all up and follow my soul's path to find my voice.

No longer can the global narrative be held in the hands of a few. It's time to step up, and help shift the story to one of healing. Now more than ever, we need books "of the people, by the people, and…
