When I was 12, we were living on a boat in Fiji that Dad had built and we were anchored at an island called Waya. One day, I was invited by a group of local kids to go catch fresh water shrimp. I didn’t speak Fijian, and they didn’t speak English. Late morning, we headed...

Luna our dog loves to drink from a hose. The higher pressure, the better. She’ll accept water out of a tap – then as a last resort, out of her bowl. When she drinks from the bowl, she starts, then, when she’s had enough, finishes up. As you’d expect, pretty straight forward. When she drinks...

Essentially, as we discover tendencies, habits, or patterns that are not serving us (dissipating energy), we realise that the fastest way to improve the situation is simply to stop. Yet a habit carries momentum, sometimes a few decades worth! “Blocking” is the...

If you don’t start surfing until you are 35, or if you’re a “late bloomer” to any new sport or activity, you may have a problem. Often people talk about this with language – it’s easier to learn (via immersion in particular) when you are young and the brain is developing. But there’s more. As...
