FSOC – Artificial Intelligence and Clarity

Posted on January 28, 2023 by Jamie Smart

The world is changing fast – AI is going to transform almost every industry. Here’s a quick example…

My publishers drafted a press release for the new edition of CLARITY. 

I wasn’t happy with it because it was written by someone who’s never read the book (understandably – Wiley publishes thousands of books each year, so the PR team isn’t going to be able to read all of them).

I needed to do a better one, so I tweaked it with some copy and paste from the introduction of the book, and came up with my own draft press release. Here’s where it gets interesting:

FSOC – Schizophrenia, burnout & fear of public speaking

Posted on January 20, 2023 by Jamie Smart

Q: What do schizophrenia, burnout & fear of public speaking have in common?

** a prevention & cure for all mental & most physical illness **

A few days ago, I was asked who the most insightful clinical psychologist on the planet was. My answer was immediate:

Dr William Pettit Jr.

Here’s what I wrote about him in the new edition of CLARITY:

FSOC – First sight of the new edition of CLARITY

Posted on January 7, 2023 by Jamie Smart

You see (speaking to you as an author), while there’s something cool about seeing ‘box-fresh’ copies of your book in a bookshop or arriving on your doorstep… 

…there’s nothing quite like the feeling you get when you know something you’ve created has been thoroughly devoured…

…Like a chef seeing their plates being licked clean…

…Or a coach seeing their clients implementing what they’ve been working on…

So this week, after I put out a post on Facebook asking who wanted to be one of the very first people to read the new edition of CLARITY, I was immensely gratified when coach Cath Daley commented,

FSOC – You’ve got a tiger by the tail

Posted on December 19, 2022 by Jamie Smart

“You’ve got a tiger by the tail, my friend.” 

I started having insights into the principles behind clarity in 2009, and wondered, “How can you surround yourself with people who are looking in this direction?”

I started travelling the world, connecting with, learning from and interviewing people whose lives had been profoundly impacted by this understanding.

One day, I was having a conversation with Dicken Bettinger and told him I’d realised these principles were the future of psychology; that I was all-in. He said something I found intriguing.

“You’ve got a tiger by the tail, my friend.”

I was puzzled by this curious statement. The principles had already had a profound and positive impact on my life. I was living in a beautiful feeling much of the time, and I was fired with a passion to share this understanding with the world. I was experiencing more peace, connection and well-being than ever.

What tiger?!?

13 years later, I think I understand what he meant.

#067 – Develop Your Intuition with Carl Harvey – Get Clarity Podcast

Posted on December 16, 2022 by Jamie Smart

Released 16th December 2022 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher

I’m Jamie Smart – welcome to the podcast. I’ve called this episode, “Develop Your Intuition”, and it’s a recording from the ClarityLive! event we held in November. The theme for the event was “Passion, Purpose & Personal Expression” and it was really great. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a lovely sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And one of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with people who are having a big impact in the world, and I picked their brains about what it means to bring your unique expression to life, and how this understanding has helped them do that. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with my dear friend and colleague, Carl Harvey. Carl is the founder of the Abundance Book Club and The Big Life show. And he was also MindValley’s head copywriter for a couple of years – Carl’s a powerhouse!

FSOC – Beginner’s luck

Posted on December 2, 2022 by Jamie Smart

One of the most influential guitarists in history is the gypsy jazz virtuoso, Django Reinhardt.

Django is legendary. An accomplished guitar player by the time he was a teenager, he nearly died in a caravan fire at the age of 18. He was badly burned and permanently lost the use of the 4th & 5th fingers on his left hand. His doctors said he’d never play the guitar again.

Boy, did they get it wrong…

Starting from scratch, Django developed a dazzling level of mastery, eventually establishing himself as one of the greatest players of all time. His lyricism, technical ability and improvisational artistry continue to astonish and inspire guitarists today (despite being two fingers short).

I had my first guitar lesson in 40 years yesterday, and it wasn’t what I’d expected. Here’s why…

FSOC – The bliss factory

Posted on November 25, 2022 by Jamie Smart

When I was 12 years old, I bought a beat-up old electric guitar for 50 dollars.

I didn’t know how to play the guitar, but I wanted to be a guitarist. I decided that once I got one I could teach myself.

So I started.

I was terrible at it, but I was determined to get better, so I practised.

Little by little, I started to improve, but it was hard. My fingers hurt. I spent lots of time feeling frustrated. My parents were sick of the sound of it.

But I had a special advantage.
