I'm Thorsten Zöller, and this is my website.
It does not shout for attention. Rather, I imagine it like a little book in a gigantic library – it is just standing there, happy to be discovered, but just as content to remain hidden between all the tomes surrounding it.
A little bit of background about me and this site.
Here’s my review of Michael W Lucas: “Ed Mastery”.
Make sure to read the review by Peter N. M. Hansteen as well (might be a little more factual than mine...)!

Finished reading Ed Mastery by Michael W Lucas. Review will be coming shortly.

A simple demonstration of the monkey mind in action I find startling every time I am experiencing it:
When something comes to your mind which you must not or do not want to forget, do not write it down (or otherwise persist it) immediately, but instead try to keep it in your mind for a couple of minutes.
Sounds easy, but most of the times when something I need to or want to remember comes to my mind while brushing my teeth, for instance, I have forgotten it by the time I am finished because my mind has already jumped to the next subject(s) it happens to find interesting.
Time and again I am thinking to myself in such situations: “Come on, it is impossible that you forget <thought so and so> until you are done with <activity so and so> just repeat the thought in your mind all the time.” And often, the thought is forgotten within a fraction of a minute.
Of course, oftentimes I will remember my thought again after a while; usually it is not completely forgotten and gone. The point is that this shows that it is really hard to focus your mind on a single thing even for a short period of time.
