About Us
Our Approach
Towards the end of the 20th century, Life Strategies was formed to apply the methods of science to the principles of life. Life is both rational and can be understood rationally, although this crucial point is little understood. So look at life scientifically!
Science is rational, and so we have applied scientific principles to the study of how life produces its results. These principles imply that when you don't understand something, you must be missing something. When you're missing something, your knowledge is incomplete.
This is very good news - outstandingly good news - because it gives you the way forward. Take responsibility for what you know, as well as what you don't, and then fill in the gaps. When you correct a mistaken belief, you'll find that the behavior arising from that misguided belief will automatically change.
A highly effective way to improve any situation is to study it, to go back to basic principles to discover its real cause. You need to know what that cause is, when it occurs, how and why it happens. It also helps to know who else is in the same situation, where it occurs and which factors exacerbate it.
Then your efforts will make you more effective at producing the results you want. With practice, you find out how to make life less stressful. It's not a myth, there are people who enjoy living ideal circumstances. So can you!

Cris Baker
Much experience with the fruits of bad choices has made Cris an expert in overcoming the self-sabotage which causes it! Remaining sane means he had to develop an effective experiential process to overcome the stress caused by any mistake. Does it work? Yes, brilliantly, he now enjoys a Best Answer rating of well over fifty percent at Yahoo Answers.
His path to becoming more effective - working out what works - mostly seems to have been via what does not work! He has vast practical experience in getting things wrong, he has been screwing things up for years! :-) Cris personally knows the enormous truth in that brilliant paraphrase from Winston Churchill:

He has vast practical experience in getting things wrong, he has been screwing things up for years! :-) Cris personally knows the enormous truth in that brilliant paraphrase from Winston Churchill:
"The only thing man learns from history is that
man does not learn from history!"
Deciding at an early age that growth was the meaning of life, he became passionate about personal growth and becoming more effective. Performance and efficiency have been lifelong interests, he ran a successful computer performance company for many years.
He would love to tell you that he always learns a lesson the first time around. But it's not true! In fact, he has made some of the same mistakes over and over again.
Many of these experiences enabled him to recognize his mistakes as he made them again. They also allowed him to distill strategies that do bear fruit. How's that for making lemonade out of lemons? Although the lemonade did not squeeze itself.
On this path, he came to realize, for example, that he isn't right, all the time, about everything. Many of you will have realized this already, but it was an amazing revelation. He used to think "I don't know how to do this," meant "this can't be done." Yet "It can't be done" does not mean "it" can't be done at all. It only means that he doesn't know how to do it.
Clearly, he is no stranger to disasters of all kinds. In other words, he has been hurt by inaccurate beliefs so often - and then suffered the consequences - that he has become an expert at discovering what does not work. You can bet the farm that it was painful as well as embarrassing as he helplessly watched one seemingly good idea after another bite the dust.
Here's the deal: now you can benefit from authentic expertise, hard-won know-how coming from real experience. Why suffer from your own mistaken (although sincere) beliefs when you can learn from the mistakes of an expert in self-sabotage? Minimize the damage you're doing - as well as your suffering. Discover how to become more effective today!

Life Strategies is not a substitute for psychotherapy!
This technology is only for healthy people. If you are ill, or even not well in any way, or have any psychological issues, please go to a medical professional! The less open-minded you are to new perspectives, the more stressful you'll find improving your effectiveness to be.
Psychotherapy originated with Freud and Jung in the nineteenth century. Much of it seems to focus on the past, on how to fix an individual's past so they can move on. Whilst successful for many troubled individuals, it can often take quite a long while. And as every moment passes you create more of the past!
Although many practitioners would like therapy to be all things to all men, the enormous growth in other disciplines suggests otherwise. Now more rational approaches such as cognitive therapy and cognitive behavior therapy have arisen, but, as always, the results to speak for themselves. Ask yourself how happy, relaxed, and fulfilled is the average practitioner, and you'll know the true effectiveness of their approach.
Thus some psychologists and psychotherapists nowadays look to be trained in coaching and other more modern disciplines. Yet coaching itself largely focuses on the question of what to do.
And although action is entirely necessary, action when you come from the wrong place - when your context is wrong - generally does not solve the cause of the problem. This is why although there are many, many approaches to improving life, many only have a short-term effect. They don't solve the problems underlying the causes in the first place.

The Principled Approach
Life is stressful. A powerful way to look at stress is as the tension between what you believe to be true, and reality - what is actually true. This is your perspective, your context.
You believe that there's something wrong with reality! But reality is what is true - just what is so! Anytime you think things should be different, you're saying reality has got it wrong, and you know better.
But you obviously don't, because things aren't that way - which is not to say you can't act to change things in the near future, the next second, or day, or month...
Reality is the way things are right now. And believing that you know better than reality is a major cause of stress. In contrast, when you're happy accepting the way things are right now, how much do you stress?
So learn how to see the good, the benefit in the way things are, and you'll reduce your stress. Then becoming more effective and changing your future becomes easier.

"Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience
it is necessary for us to do the opposite,
that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason.
