Are you having trouble making more money or managing it wisely? Is financial lack a constant source of stress and pain? Consider this. What if you stopped approaching finance as a purely practical process and started treating it as a spiritual practice? What if, along with learning the practical facts, you focused on developing a deep sense of trust in the inexplicable forces of the Universe, along with learning the practical facts? In my experience, the moment you inject faith into finances, the instant you invite the Divine into your relationship with the ‘almighty dollar,’ your experience with money grows deeper, richer, and more meaningful.

At the time, I felt like I was good enough in math. I was more into music than drawing. So, she paid for my summer English classes. Little did I know that her humble pension and that decision would change my life forever. After that first summer English class, I…

My Rich Habits research has taken me down many rabbit holes. Because habits are forged by the brain, I’ve been forced to take a deep dive into the anatomy of the brain and brain function in order to understand how the brain physiologically creates habits. After many years of studying the brain, I found myself forced down another rabbit hole – quantum mechanics. Why quantum mechanics? Well, several recent studies on the brain have determined that our brain is not what we thought it was. It turns out the brain is a quantum-based computer, specifically the myelin sheath part of…
