Why didn't they teach me this at school?

The established educational system is limited to preparing the individual for employment rather than life as a whole. Even many adult education facilities have that orientation, so that often one thinks, "Why didn't they teach me this at school?" or "Where can I go to learn about this?" So many things one needs to know in life, or which could greatly enhance one's life, are not easily accessible, and while the information is very often available on the Internet, many people are lost in its vast and chaotic space.

There's so much that children need to know to live happy lives, which isn't taught at schools and about which parents need help in being able to help their children - because the parents don't necessarily know either! Communication skills; emotional intelligence; about love, sex and relationships; goal setting; time and stress management; dealing with money; concentration and reading skills; creativity; intuition; the basics of psychology, philosophy, spirituality; social conditioning and group behavior; the list goes on and on.

Our future depends on adults participating in self-directed ongoing learning, and passing their knowledge on to their children from the earliest age possible.

Here is a list of topics about which I feel many people are inadequately informed. Each topic has some links ready for you to check out...

How to communicate effectively, including with partner, friends and family, at work and to groups of people. LINKS (6)
How to make love, giving pleasure to another man or woman; understanding the causes of impotence and frigidity. LINKS (10)

And so begin a new life of enhanced achievement and happiness.

The 'New Life Course' is designed to smoothly and gradiently develop mental resources that open up new ways of understanding. Discover how to make difficult decisions, think more objectively without negative feelings from the past, have a clear mind open to all your intuitive resources, manage stress and upsets in your life, improve your personal relationships, dramatically boost self-esteem - and live much more consciously.

"Thank you for all the help you given me since I began the course. Some things have been real life-shifters for me and I now look at my life and my friends and everything that happens in a completely different way. It's all an exciting game of learning and I'm learning so much! I no longer worry about myself or what other people think, I just enjoy being me and I enjoy others being themselves!" --H.R. (Michigan)

The techniques of Mind Development make the mind much more efficient because they open up the pathways of left-right brain communication and assist the person to regain all of their positive mental energy. They can then obtain the goals they want and take control of their destiny.

"Just a short note of thanks for the CD. I've only had it for several days now but I already feel it is perhaps the most interesting compilation I have yet seen. Worth far more than the price of admission. The browser linked structure works well and makes it easy to manage such a large storehouse of information. It is rarely that I find something I like as much as this or that I feel strongly enough to write a note like this."--P.W. (Minnesota, USA)

"I want to just say 'WOW!' This CD is probably the best money I ever spent! I've already received many times over in personal enrichment after just 9 days. I've had a past metaphysical background, but even newcomers to this material will really benefit. Thanks again."--J.S. (Pennsylvania, USA)

"The CD arrived safely and it is everything which you promised. And more! A superb contribution to the good of the World. Many thanks indeed."--R.P. (Georgia, USA)
