Info on Cris
Cris Baker has had much practice in adversity, he's been screwing things up for years! So he knows how to answer the important questions: Why are you in your current situation? What can you do to change it? For more info, see the full biographies here.
Although Cris is very spiritual (but not religious), Life Strategies is entirely secular. So you'll find only hard headed practical observations and recommendations in the couple of hundred pages on the website. But there are some Zen quotes, and a mention of the still small voice of calm from the Bible somewhere...
The media-room page also has photos of Cris as well as images of his published works, and there's more info at www.LifeStrategies.net/cris. Enjoy exploring our dynamic site and we look forward to Cris being a valued guest on your show in the near future (these links open in a new tab).
Cris is based in Gibraltar, the other side of the Atlantic, where the day starts - and finishes - many hours earlier than in America. If your show is recorded, an interview in the morning will ensure he gets an uninterrupted night's sleep. Thanks for being considerate!
