Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

I was wondering what I might write about today when I happened across an interesting comment regarding my last post. Here's the un-edited comment, exactly as it arrived at me-dot-com...
Hiya Craig,
Quick bit of constructive critisism if I may. I find your posts are becoming too long, rather write another book and I'll happily buy it. I don't have time to read throught the whole lot here online, I want quick tips!!
The comments are becoming to long too, maybe the people should just really take Annonymous's advice and start their own blogs or join the forum. I don't visit often any more because it's just to long! Where are the good 'olle days from a year or so ago?
Hope you don't mind my feedback, I just thought I might let you know what I feel, I might be the only one, so in that case you are welcome to ignore me :-)
cheers, Perth, WA.
Okey-doke, here are my thoughts...
1. No, I'm not offended or upset (at all), just amused and interested in your perspective. "I'm serious about personal development... as long as it's quick."
2. I find it ironic (funny almost) that a person coming to a personal development site and someone that I'm assuming is seeking to improve their reality in some way, can't find 5-6 minutes to read an article that I can find fivehours to write. An article that (like all of my articles) is sent to tens of thousands of subscribers around the world every day.... for free. Not a bad deal really. At an average reading speed of 275 words per minute (a typical reading speed for adults), most of us would read the (1,692 word) article in around six minutes. A big sacrifice I know.
3."I don't have time to read through the whole lot here online"
It's my belief that someone who is serious about learning, growing, improving and creating better results in their world would be able to find six minutes in a day that provides 1,440 of them. Minutes, that is.
4."I find your posts are becoming too long.... I want quick tips" Aaah, I could say so many things. While I respect your feedback and appreciate your honesty, I hope you will respect and appreciate mine. Firstly, I won't be writing to a set number of words or a pre-determined formula; some posts will be longer, some shorter. It's my belief that the potential value of an article to my readers doesn't lie in the length but rather, the content. Some messages demand more attention. Secondly, I'm not the "quick tip" guy, I'm a teacher, coach and writer and not interested in getting people pumped for five minutes - I'm interested in genuine, inside-out transformation; life-long change.
"I don't visit often any more because it's (that is, my writing) just too long."
Thirdly, not visiting a site because the writer takes the time to explore subjects in depth is a mistake (I believe) and perhaps you not wanting to find the necessary six minutes in your day says more about your mindset and priorities, than it does about the length of my articles. Just a thought.
5."The comments are becoming too long"
If you don't like the long comments, don't read them. I mean that politely and genuinely. As long as the comments are on topic, not self-indulgent, not a form of social networking with other readers, not offensive and hopefully add value to the discussion in some way, I'm okay with them.
In Conclusion...
In responding to this comment, I am in no way intending to bitch or be critical of the commentor; I genuinely respect his/her honesty and thoughts and don't believe them to be malicious at all. However, I will say that as someone who invests more physical, emotional and creative energy (and significant time) into my articles than most people would ever imagine, I get a little sick of some people's propensity to fault-find when there is so much 'good' to take away from what we're doing (and trying to do) here in this humble little cyber-classroom we call craigharper.com.
Please don't cyber-bash our commentor (not what we're about) but as always, like you to hear your thoughts.If you're not sure how to leave a comment, clickhere.
*Note: FYI, this article is comprised of 727 words, not including this sentence. Or this one. I guess that adds up to about a three-minute investment of your time. But feel free not to read this sentence because I'm not really saying anything much. But then, maybe I am? And whatever you do, definitely don't read this one. Stop it. You have issues.
We don’t know why, but people go crazy for these shirts. Perhaps it’s because they allow us to tell people what we really think without wasting our breath! Order your shirt here.
