Quick overview of How-To style posts. How to write a book, find love, clear upsets … and more.
As you know, Mister Spock from Star Trek gave our culture the catch-phrase “Live Long and Prosper!” That’s all very well, but many ask, “How?” And now, providing an answer, this space will deliver quick-read, easy-to-apply methods to do that. And we’ll go beyond … to clearing upsets and limiting beliefs, to finding freedom from daily suffering, and more.
Accomplishing these things are generally considered difficult. But—with the right approach—they’re surprisingly simple to accomplish.
Some of the things presented here are things that most everyone needs. Other things are more specialized, so you can pick and choose which are useful for you.
Remember: Many solve life-problems that most folks believe cannot be solved. Ha!
Some of these systems I developed, some I found and adapted, and others I just plain stole. But they all have three things in common: They’re clear. They’re simple. They work.
What You’ll Find in these “How to” Posts …
Many years ago, my buddy Dennis proposed a book called “Rules of Thumb,” being things we follow that often work. Over time, his idea led me to construct checklists of “how-to” do things, as I worked out checklists in my life and various projects.
And then, over the years, when I’ve encountered things considered difficult to do, somehow I’ve also stumbled across many easy-to-understand, simple systems that enable a person do get these things done. Some examples include:
How to Write a Book, Quickly
How to Find a Sweetheart
How to Understand Dreams
How to Clear Upsets
How to Lose Weight (not quick, but simple if done in the correct sequence)
How to Manage a Group of People
How to Persuade in Speech, Writing, and Body Language
How to Feel Good Fast
How to Find and Clear Limiting Beliefs
How to Sidestep Suffering and Feel Peaceful
How This Fits with Our “Live Long” Articles …
In the “How to Live Long, Prosper, and Find Peace” substack, you’ll continue to find researched and tested methods for improve health and lifespan. And now you’ll also find “How-To: Clear & Simple” articles to help you prosper in life and to create a more peacefull, happy life., all at: howtolivelongandprosper.substack.com
Together, these two kinds of articles form a complementary pair: one focused on on how you can become healthier and live longer, and the other how-to get things done that folks often find difficult. We hope you find both to be useful!
