Introduction

Our parents are our best guides and mentors when we are young, but when we grow up, we may need to take our lives in our own hands.

A colleague once asked me why I did not think of moonlighting as a self-help trainer, with all my experience in psychology, guiding, mentoring and training. I just told her that I definitely encouraged people to help themselves.

Instead of looking for other people to help them, a person who was capable of thinking on his own, and making his own decisions was infinitely preferable to another who would just go to the nearest Guru and ask him to be his spiritual, emotional, and mental guide, mentor, and support.
