This blog is for helping you to see through a misunderstanding that stops people from creating the results they want, and from living a life they love. It’s responsible for many of the problems we experience as individuals, in organisations and as an entire species. Please don’t take my word for it; instead, I invite you to explore the materials here, make up your own mind, and start experiencing the benefits in your life.

FSOC – What’s the “inside” bit of “inside-out”?

Posted on March 18, 2022 by Jamie Smart

Happy Friday

I’m still in Portugal working on the 2nd edition of CLARITY. I talk a lot in the book about the inside-out understanding, so one of the things I’ve decided to do in the new edition is define “inside” and “outside” as clearly as I can.

I’m still in Portugal, writing the 2nd edition of CLARITY: Clear Mind, better Performance, Bigger Results, and at the moment, I’m working on Chapter 18 – Penicillin for the Mind. It starts with this line:

“There’s nothing in this world that you can’t turn into heroin…”

FSOC – Love and Understanding

Posted on February 4, 2022 by Eugenia Zelaya

I’m away on holiday this week so I’m sharing a very brief Friday Shot of Clarity, in preparation for Valentine’s day on Monday. See, when Sydney Banks was asked what the essence of the 3 Principles was, he’d always say the same thing…

#063 – Living a Beautiful Life with Jan and Chip Chipman – Get Clarity Podcast

Released 27th January 2022 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher

Welcome to the podcast. I’m delighted to present this episode, “Living a Beautiful Life” with Jan and Chip Chipman. The theme for the ClarityLive conference it was recorded at was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really lovely. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a great sense of community, with lots of profound realisations.

And one of the highlights of the weekend was my session with my dear friends, mentors, colleagues and collaborators, Jan and Chip Chipman. Jan, Chip and I met nearly 13 years ago and have been friends ever since. We’ve run retreats together in the Canary Islands and mainland Spain. They spent years being mentored by Sydney Banks, and one of the things you’re going to love about this conversation is the feeling they bring. Chip also tells me favourite Syd Banks story in this session, so I hope you enjoy that too.

#062 – Burning It All Down with Charlie Madison – Get Clarity Podcast

Posted on January 20, 2022 by Jamie Smart

Released 20th January 2022 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher

I’m really happy to share this episode with you, with the unusual title of ‘Burning It All Down’, because it’s a recording from the ClarityLive! event we held earlier this month. The theme for the event was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really lovely. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a great sense of community, with lots of profound realisations. And one of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with Certified Clarity Coaches who’ve been having a big impact in the world, and I picked their brains about what it means to live a beautiful life, and how this understanding has helped them do exactly that. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over a 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 business owner & entrepreneur Charlie Madison.

Who are you, really?

Posted on January 7, 2022 by Jamie Smart

As you may or may not know, my work (and my life) have been profoundly influenced by the work of the philosopher Sydney Banks. The very first recording I ever heard of his was called ‘Beyond Psychology’, made in the early 1970s.

But here’s the thing…
