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. Here you will find free articles & videos on Clarity.
FSOC – The morphine of self-improvement
Released on July 3rd, 2020
This week’s Friday Shot of Clarity is an excerpt from my first book CLARITY: Clear Mind, Better Performance, Bigger Results (© 2013 Jamie Smart published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd). It’s taken from Chapter 18 – Penicillin for the Mind:
During an unexpectedly moving scene in the comedy Get Him to the Greek (2010, Universal Pictures), drug-addicted rock star Aldous Snow (played by Russell Brand) tries to convince his ex-girlfriend to get back together with him. She explains that she’s drug-free, and that the past few months have been the happiest of her life. He protests that he was clean for seven years when they were together. She replies “And you did yoga for five hours a day. That’s mental! There’s nothing in this world that you can’t turn into heroin.”
