Since childhood I have been fascinated by the impact of psychology on our lives as human beings. How our beliefs and attentional focus can create our experience of reality and, indeed, our actual reality. Those mechanisms can help us to live our values, reach our goals and create a sense of meaning, and at other times drive us off our desired path and create upheaval in our worldview and functioning. The desire to understand and harness those mechanisms has been a lifelong passion that is as strong today as it was when I was a child playing in the park, when I wondered why two people exposed to the same event could have entirely different experiences and interpretations of it and behave differently as a result.
