Recommended Workshops:

In my growth process, over the years, I've taken a number of seminars and read a number of books. Often, people ask for recommendations for the very best seminars / books / CD's etc to facilitate their own growth. Below is a list of some of my favorites.

• The Hoffman Institute - One of the most amazing 8 days you can spend in your life! About 5000 people each year, including many of the world's most successful people have taken this seminar. It teaches us how to live our lives the way we want to - instead of unconsciously acting out patterns we learned from our parents. If you only take one seminar in your life, let this be it: http://www.hoffmaninstitute.com http://www.quadrinity.com/
