My Cup Runneth Over

Last updated on: May 29, 2009 at 3:10 pm By John Shore

A few weeks ago, a young web designer named Daniel Gurtner (whom I don’t know and have never met), bought my book, “I’m OK—You’re Not: The Message … [and so on].” Out of the goodness of his heart, Daniel then made the below, which is my first ever book video. Built by a fan! For free! Which I can totally afford! Kids today. They clearly don’t have enough to do. Thank God. The day Daniel shared with me his clip,... Read more

A Great Marriage is About NOT Compromising

Last updated on: May 28, 2009 at 5:00 am By John Shore

People are forever saying that one of the keys to a happy marriage is learning to compromise. And in the sense in which that’s usually meant, that’s true. But in another, deeper sense, it’s also true that the key to a happy marriage is learning to never compromise at all. We all know that central to our personal happiness is to consistently resist compromising the things that are most important to us, which are our values. We know that we should always do...

In Case You’ve Stopped By

Last updated on: May 26, 2009 at 10:22 pm By John Shore

Just a quick note to say why I’ve not posted anything in the last few days. Cuz. I’m. Lazy. Plus, my wife Cat had FOUR DAYS OFF! Whoo. Hoo. Tonight (being Monday night, doncha know) we went to San Diego’s famous Old Globe Theatre to see Cornelia, about George Wallace and his second wife, Cornelia. The script and acting was … something less than overwhelming. But Robert Foxworth, who played Wallace, was exceptionally strong. So that sort of pretty much... Read more

Oh, No! I’m Boring!

Last updated on: May 20, 2009 at 5:31 pm By John Shore

Oh no! I’m boring! Upon re-reading it, I just realized that my last blog post (Forget Yourself to Save Yourself) is quite disturbingly dull. It was a Totally Serviceable Idea, I thought. (And think. And I did just jazz it up a little.) It came to me at breakfast. Had to write it quickly, though. Too quickly, apparently. That’s the thing about blogging: you never really get to craft what you write, in a way. I mean, you do, but... Read more
