About once a month or so I get together with my good friend Jon Busack (pronounced boo-zak). We’ll meet for coffee and catch up on each other’s lives – the projects we’re working on, how our families are doing, etc. 

One thing about Jon – He’s probably the most insightful guy I’ve ever met. A genuine wellspring of original thinking.  He could probably crank out half a dozen books of astute original perceptions and make Dr. Phil look like, well … I’ll just leave that alone.

But what I really want to tell you about is Jon’s new website, goodselftalk.com. Jon first mentioned it at my New Year’s Party a few months back, and it was like the entire gathering wanted Jon just to keep on talking.  People from 26 to 76 were glued to every word, awed by Jon’s dead-on accurate description of negative self talk, the damage it causes, and how to get rid of it.

Even though it was a party, nobody wanted Jon to stop. Everyone was tuned in and relating to it. 

Jon’s philosophy about negative self talk is that those thoughts are not really your own natural thoughts. “They’re just echoes from the past,” Jon says, “recorded during times of fear and uncertainty.  And just as they were once recorded, they can be erased.” And Jon helps people do that, too.

So yesterday over coffee, Jon was diagramming some of his latest insights, and I have to tell you, it’s amazing stuff.  I really wish he’d put his genius insights in book form! “In time,” he says.

Well, in the mean time, what we have is his website. Go there and read the stories. And, if you experience negative self talk, be sure to read how it can be stopped.

I know I’m bragging on a buddy here, but I’ve been a consultant for almost twenty years, and I’ve not found anyone else who can explain this stuff better than Jon.

You owe it to yourself to check out his site and see the cool stuff he’s doing.
