budge burgess for the stories you don't write |
| HELLO Welcome. If you were expecting to find porn, you've come to the wrong place ... although I do discuss the subject, and there is a bit of sex in later pages (if you want to leap straight to these, the quickest option is to drop your computer on the floor - it sometimes opens at the right place). Meanwhile, this is a website about change. Human change. How to change your life. How to help someone change theirs. I promise you it will be entertaining, that it will be wholly unlike any other website about change, and that it will give you much to think about and a lot of practical advice and encouragement. Can I guarantee to change your life? Make you slimmer? Irresistible? Happy? A non- smoker? Equip you with an understanding of the offside rule? Can I bollocks! But think yourself fortunate you found this website and not any of the others. There are countless thousands of websites about change on the Internet. Most will patronise you. You'll find a glut of superficial bullshit about change. You'll find many websites which peddle certifiable, loony tunes bullshit. Some even peddle fraudulent bullshit. This is a website about honesty as well as change. Successful change is about honesty - being honest with yourself and about yourself, as well as being honest with others. You'll find no bullshit here. You will find honesty. I'll be frank with you - that's where the sex comes in, and the discussion of pornography (might even find a way to inject a bit of gratuitous violence). Yes, you'll find honesty here. And humour. And compassion. And reasoned, intelligent, informed argument. And, hopefully, entertainment. But, primarily, I aim to make you think, and to be honest with yourself. And, by the way, that might hurt! I won't delude you - if you want to change some aspect of your life, I won't patronise you, won't attempt to convince you that there are '5 easy steps' (or 3, or 7). Change won't be achieved by buying a book or a DVD or booking a place at a lecture or weekend seminar. You'll need to find motivation, determination, self-belief and courage to change any aspect of your life; you'll need to work hard; and you'll have to be honest with yourself and about yourself. And it'll help if you've got some good support. So, I'll let you into a professional secret. There are, in fact, only two steps involved in changing your life - the first is deciding you're going to change, the second is doing it. You think that's going to be easy? I'll show you my scars, I won't ask to see yours. So read on. I may not always be polite, but I'll always be honest … and I'll try to ensure you learn enough about change to put yourself in the best possible position to pursue the changes you seek. MANIFESTO |

The Stories You Don't Write My book on change: "The Stories You Don't Write" critically explores an industry of change which cynically markets you an endless glut of celebrity gurus promising to reveal a formula of easy steps to lasting happiness. I don't offer 'easy' solutions: there are none! I discuss what we really know about changing life and explore effective tactics and strategies. Rather than claim there are easy answers, I'll equip you with the skills to question yourself and others so you can build an effective, personal model for changing your own life. With thirty years of professionally qualified experience working to change people's lives, I offer you a thorough, professional exploration of change delivered with humour, compassion, and honesty. And don't worry, I'm not trying to sell you a copy. Yet. |
