"Richard, even without legs, you can still make a contribution..."

Those words echoed as I lay crushed on the highway, my legs shattered by a Winnebago that had just run over me.

Instead of surrendering to shock and trauma, I took control of my mind and used techniques I'd developed over decades to stay alive, conscious, and functioning.

The doctors said I'd never walk again.

Two years later, I completed two triathlons.

This wasn't my first "impossible" transformation

Before that I created a health program , which I used to lose 100 pounds,  and  later to conquer and heal life threatening heart failure and cancer. Today at 85 plus I am vital and robust in mind, body and spirit.

How?

Through six decades of clinical practice and my own life-altering experiences, I uncovered a fundamental truth about human potential:

The mind is the most powerful tool you possess – but if you don't become its boss, it will become your prison.

During 64 years as a clinical psychologist, I've developed a system that puts you in the driver's seat of your own mind – making the involuntary, voluntary.

Now, I'm sharing this system as a 7-week course teaching a small group of dedicated individuals how to:

• Interrupt negative thought patterns when they arise

• Recognize and shift those patterns using simple awareness practices

• Set intentions and take small, consistent actions toward them

From the breathing pattern that kept me alive that day on the highway, to my go-to ‘Golden Light’ meditation, I’ll be sharing the tools and techniques that have helped me and countless of my patients recover and thrive.

Taking control of your mind isn’t about years of meditation or endless therapy.

This isn't meditation. It's not mere “positive thinking.” And it's definitely not another "wait until New Year's" resolution program. This is about becoming the boss of your own mind now.

Every second you wait to take control of your mind, your mind is controlling you. Every moment you postpone change, you're actively choosing to stay stuck.

I know, because I've helped thousands of patients break free from their mental prisons. People who thought they were "too old," "too stuck," or "too far gone" to change.

Here's what I discovered during my 64 years of clinical practice and my own brushes with death:

Your mind operates on automatic patterns that were set long ago – but you can override these patterns in as little as 5 minutes a day.

The quality of your life is directly proportional to your ability to control your mental state.

What could you achieve if you could:

• Turn off anxiety like a light switch

• Break free from limiting patterns and stuck behaviors

• Direct your mind's incredible healing potential

• Take control of your story now, not "someday"

• Follow through on your deepest intentions

This isn't just about feeling better (though you will). This is about becoming the author of your own story - the boss of your own mind instead of a prisoner of your thoughts.

It all starts with a decision.

The same decision I made on that highway, crushed and broken, but unwilling to surrender control of my mind to circumstance. The same decision that has helped thousands of my patients transform their lives.

The decision to take control. Now.
