The Power of the 80/20 Principle
My wife was annoyed with me because I took too long in the bookshop. It wouldn't be the first time. Bookshops for me are like entering a time vortex. ‘Joshua's Long Day’, when the sun stood still, happens every time I enter a bookshop. The problem is that I am the only one in the vortex. The rest of the ...

Valentines Day and the Key to a Woman’s Heart
I have heard so many men complain to me, “My wife is very high maintenance”. In most cases this statement shows a distinct lack of understanding of the fairer sex.

Interestingly my son and his twin girls can be seen at the ...

It seems that we’ve arrived suddenly in 2017! You might well ask where 2016 went? – a very good question. Some probably don’t want to think about 2016 – it’s simply too painful. For others, the treadmill was going so fast you felt as if your feet got burned trying to keep up. Maybe you felt you achieved a lot ...
Taking a Break
I hate to admit it, but I am probably what Dr John Tickell calls a ‘Type A personality’. One sign of Type A behaviour is the fact that this newsletter has gone out to men all over Australia every week, without fail, for 15 years(thank you Ron). The upside of this is that many, many men are alive today because ...
Love DNA
