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.

New "Getting to Know You" Questions
Hello Groovers

Hope you're all well and annoying the crap out of the naysayers, whingers, whiners, sooks and energy vampires in your world with your incredible attitude, your can-do mindset, your infectious energy and your commitment to excellence... and fun. Of course, excellence without fun isn't excellence at all; it's obsession.

Pretty as a Pitcher Partner

So it's been a pretty big day for me travelling down (and back) to the beautiful coastal resort of Lorne (here in Victoria) to present to the fantastic team from Pitcher Partners. I spent the whole morning with them and we had a great time exploring success principles and being the change in our world. Nice people and a great company. Thankyou Pitcher Partner People. The net result of today's busy-ness is no follow-up post from yesterday's "Who am I" instalment. It will be along soon. Ish. "Just now" as my South African friend says. Which means some time between now and Christmas.

Thank goodness for Sandra

Fortunately, one of our readers (the very lovely Sandra from Virginia in the U.S.) has made a great suggestion for a potential group discussion in the interim and being as her idea makes complete sense, I thought why should I exhaust myself coming up with a meaningful and relevant chat concept when Sandra has done if for me already. I knew there would be an upside to having readers who are smarter than me. Now I know.

A Dumb Theory

Yesterday we spoke of the obsession our society has for assessing people based on things like (1) what we own (2) what we look like (3) what we do (our career) and (4) where we live. Evidence of this mindset can be seen in any social setting where people are connecting for the first time. "So what do you do... where do you live....?" The inference being that by knowing where someone lives and what they "do" then we are discovering who they are. Which is about the dumbest theory ever.

New Questions

But as Sandra suggests, perhaps we could move away from those traditional questions and commit to asking better ones in such situations; ones that don't pigeon-hole people based on which particular boxes they tick. Perhaps as a group we can come up with some questions which could revolutionize the "getting to know you" process. Surely we can do better than "so what do you do?"

Can't we?

This is no easy task so I am keen to hear your thoughts and read your new and improved "getting to know you" questions. I will send a Renovate Your Body DVD to the people who blow my socks (and Ugg Boots) off. It is winter in Melbourne remember.

Start getting creative. Click on the comment link to share your genius.

* I'll be back with part two of "Who Am I" soon.
