My specialty is the provision of a wide range of personal and organizational development materials, subjects and models for Lifelong, Self-Directed Learning for all ages 3 to 70.

I teach English the Stephan Krashen “Natural Approach” way—meaning I teach subjects that learners are interested in and they learn English by using it instead of being forced to rote learn grammar, etc.

I supply my own courses in Word/PowerPoint/PDF with free downloads of videos/audios and digital books/articles. I establish a close, trustful relationship as a Tutor, Mentor and Free Friend.

I truly enjoy bringing out the best in persons, and use the following resources for individuals, couples, teams, businesses, and corporate groups:

The Human Potential Movement, including Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, and Rollo May with a special focus on Self-Actualization as "What Humans Must Be, They Can Be";

Psychohistory as founded and developed by Lloyd deMause with special emphasis on parenting and child abuse;

Cultural-Social Anthropology-Psychology with special emphasis on critical revisionist interpretations by Robert B. Edgerton, Lloyd deMause and Weston La Barre;

Affective Neuroscience as founded and developed by Jaak Panksepp and furthered by Mark Solms;

Neuroscience including Iain McGilchrist, Michael Gazzaniga, and Michael Corballis;

Intellectual History especially the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods;

Primatology including Frans De Waal, Richard Wrangham, and Harry Harlow;

Psychiatry, especially the critical writers such as Thomas Szasz, Peter Breggin and William Glasser;

Social Psychology including Gustave LeBon, Sigmund Freud, and Eric Hoffer;

Social Science, including Émile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel;

Evolutionary Psychology, including Robert Trivers, Robert Ardrey, and David Buss;

Cross-cultural Psychology, studies and training, including Fons Trompenaars, Geert Hofstede, and Richard E. Nisbett;

Life-Span Development including Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, and Lawrence Kohlberg;

Positive Psychology, especially Martin Seligman, emphasizing strengths and resilience;

Self-Determination Theory focusing on Autonomy, Relatedness, and Competency;

Parent Effectiveness Training teaching Active Listening, I-Messaging, and No Lose Conflict Resolution;

Maria Montessori childhood educational philosophy and practice;

Myers-Briggs Personality Type and the Keirsey Personality Temperament for career, couples, business/corporations;

Co-Active Coaching model for Executive and Life Coaching;

Johari Window for Self-Disclosure and Team Communication;

Self-Directed Learning support for Home-Un-Schooling;

Creative Writing, poetry and prose including The Great Books and the Academy of Ideas videos surveying philosophy and literature from ancient times to modernity;

Voluntaryism/Anarcho-Capitalism and Austrian Economics studies and support with access to the Tom Woods Liberty Classroom;

and finally, for singles and couples desiring permanent partnerships:
Prepare-Enrich, Couple Communication, Robert Sternberg’s Triangle model, Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving, Willard F. Harley’s His Needs Her Needs, John Gottman’s The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, and David Buss’s Evolutionary Psychology.

My philosophy of Responsible Freedom is summed in these quotes:

"Freedom is the will to be responsible for ourselves." Friedrich Nietzsche
“Liberty is the prevention of control by others.” Lord Acton
“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.” Baruch Spinoza
