As you probably already know, the 10th-anniversary edition of my book CLARITY has been in people’s hands for the last couple of weeks. I’ve spent a big chunk of the last few years working on this, and I’m excited to see how it lands. In the past, I put a lot of energy into climbing the bestseller charts. It was a lot of fun, and I feel very grateful for all the support from my amazing community (CLARITY was a big number one & RESULTS made the Sunday Times bestseller list). Thank you! This time, my aim is different. |

The 10th-anniversary edition of CLARITY is being well-received; it’s wonderful to see my Facebook feed filled with wonderful photos of people holding their copy of the book, and saying what a difference these principles have made in their lives.
One of the changes with the new edition is a “What the Research Says” section at the end of each chapter. This is a description of (and where possible, a link to) peer-reviewed articles and other research that will help you “read around” the principles behind clarity.

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:

Who are you, really?
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…

FSOC – Turning Mountains Into Molehills
Q: How do you turn mountains into molehills?
I was coaching a client recently around something they’d been preoccupied with.
Worried, anxious, frustrated…
It was the kind of thing where they would think about it so much that it was exhausting.
So I asked them a strange question…
FSOC – The power of prioritising
As you may have read last week, I’ve enacted a zero-tolerance policy on stress & pressure in my business. As a result, I’ve spent today in a most enjoyable way; doing yoga, going out for coffee with my girlfriend, designing a new model I’ve been thinking about for a while…
