When I first started searching for a better way to be in the world the smorgasbord of offerings was so tempting, I think I just pigged out on every morsel of human development training available. I did yoga, zen, meditation, and tai chi, shiatsu, read over 10,000 books and attended hundreds of public seminars, workshops and retreats. I loved every minute of it and met some delicious and wonderful people there. I partnered with many and had some of the best times of my life.

But I didn't get far in my original goal of wanting a better way to be in the world. Don't get me wrong, yoga and zen and all the other practices changed heaps about me. But, deep down, I still felt like an arse and it didn't take much provocation for the newly discovered art form to drop away and leave Chris, the original, pissed off and poorer in time and money for all the efforts.
