Hey there, esteemed visitor. Welcome to the blog! This blog is meant for smart folks who are looking to improve their love lives — and to become the best possible version of themselves in the process. I draw upon Western science, Eastern wisdom and good old horse sense to come up with my stuff — hope you find it eminently useful.

So you want my credentials? Awright then — I got an A.B. magna cum laude from Harvard College, an M.D. from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, and an M.Phil. from Cambridge University.  I’m also a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner.  I’ve consulted for Fortune 100 companies as an Associate at McKinsey & Co. and maintain a hypnotherapy practice in Los Angeles, California. 

How this is relevant to you is that I’ve studied behavioral change a fair amount and have gotten some good results with people who wanted to implement change in their lives. My philosophy is simple: Don’t just listen to me. Instead, test out for yourself the ideas I present to you. If they work for you, use ‘em. If not, move on and use something else. I’m committed to helping you live a more joyous, fulfilled life and become the best possible version of you. If you’d like to come along for the ride, fabulous.

I’m the author of  The Tao of Dating: The Thinking Man’s Enlightened Guide to Success with Women, and the audio courses The Tao of Persuasion and The Tao of Networking.  My most recent book, The Tao of Dating: The Smart Woman’s Guide to Embracing Your Inner Goddess and Finding the Fulfillment You Deserve, came out in 2009.  The revised version for 2010 is coming up, like, imminently.
