IMPORTANT NOTE: Magic mushrooms can be very dangerous to an unstable mind and I do not condone their use unless you are in a controlled, safe environment, or at an Allman Brothers/Widespread Panic concert taking place this summer. I was hangin’ with this cool dude who came on my yoga retreat to Tulum, Mexico way [...]

Can Your Soul Be Horny?
“I love your book,” my friend told me as we walked the streets of NY before my launch party last week. I was stoked and said, “Awesome! High five?!” while holding out my hand. “I don’t do high fives,” she responded. I’d never heard such a thing. That’s almost as bad as hearing another say, [...]
When Your Life is Slipping Away…
“We laugh at the efforts of the musk deer to find the source of the scent which comes from itself and despair at our efforts to find the peace which is our essence.” -Ramakrishna I was recently at a Bachelor Party in Vegas with friends I’ve known since college. In the wee hours of the [...]
The Yogis' Plan to Heal the Economy
I’m fed up with feeling like a victim in this economy. Can you relate? I’m fed up with the roller coaster of emotions and the dire news reports. I’m fed up with worrying about money. I’m fed up with not being able to sleep. But over the past day or two, I’ve turned a corner. [...]
For the Person who's Way Too into Sports
Being that I’m a Arizona Cardinals fan*, I was heartbroken when they lost yesterday’s Super Bowl in the last minute.

For most of my life, I’ve been on the run. Running from my neuroses, running from my insecurities, running [...]
The Amazing Pleasure of a Broken Heart
“Prosperity is no just scale; adversity is the only balance.” Plutarch My guru Karl Hammerschlag recently told a story of parking his car at a health club. He happened to see another man with a handicapped placard parking in the handicapped spot. However, this man seemed perfectly fine and proceeded to enter the health club [...]
Stronger than a Wave, Deeper than a Root, Dirtier than a Bong
“Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.” – Arthur Somers Roche. We all know the infamous quote “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” But I didn’t realize until last week that the quote was said by [...]
Staying Sane in an Insane Economy
“The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.” Napolean Hill So many people have felt [...]
