Please leave messages to Morty and his family here. If you’d like to send a private note, you can do so by emailing c@lefkoeinstitute.com please keep in mind that we are expecting many messages and will read them all … and we may not be able to respond to them all.
I receive an overwhelming number of daily emails linking to blogs, most of which I glance at and delete. I actually read most of Morty’s and Shelly’s. They write well about fascinating ideas and teachings. They have a clear, intelligent logical approach, and more importantly write from experience with heart, warmth, honesty and vulnerability.
Just a quick note to thank you for your weekly insightfulness and addition to your courses through your weekly blog. I find it helpful to read your blog weekly as it reinforces the work that we have done together. I see the value in it for those who have not participated in your work. It gives them a place to enter the conversation and begin to glean a new understanding of themselves and others around them. Most of all thank you for contributing to my life and those you are reaching. To a prosperous and joyous 2014.
I've been reading Morty's blog off and on for about 3 years and I have to say that it is the best source of self improvement information out there today. Every week, he posts a new article full of content on how you can improve yourself and your life by eliminating the beliefs and meanings we give in every moment of our lives each and everyday. The blog articles stretch my perception of reality, and how I view the world.
I never miss Morty's weekly blogs. They put his work into concise and clear terms. He shows how the Lefkoe Method applies to a myriad of real human situations that cause suffering to most people. He explains how to eliminate this suffering by eliminating the core beliefs that fuel it such as "I'm a failure." He also demonstrates how his method differs from psychotherapy and is often more effective at producing long-lasting change in less time. … The blogs are different from his other services or products in that you don't need to buy them, schedule a session, or order a book. They are … brief, reader-friendly language, enough to read on a 10 minute break from work, for instance. The best part is I've seen positive changes in my own life that come directly from his blogs. This means a lot coming from a psychotherapist trained extensively in models of psychotherapy. I've also found them useful in my work with my own clients and to complement many theories of psychotherapy. I could go on effusively about Morty's magnificent blogs but I think I've already made my point.
I have to tell you that you really broke something open for me when you shared your story about creating obstacles for yourself, because you thought your value was in how hard you could work to overcome those obstacles. Listening to you was a major "Aha!" moment for me - I realized I had been doing the same thing!
I've experience enormous and recurring relief, knowing that I don't ever have to struggle again, and I'm perfectly worthwhile. Opportunities that I have been wanting for a long time have come pouring through the door since that "Aha!" moment...so thank you for putting your material out into the world!"
I’m so sorry to hear of Morty’s passing. I recently discovered the Lefkoe method. I haven’t done the full program yet, but hope to some time in the near future.
I had an opportunity to watch one video from the program (I watched mistakes and failures), and the method makes so much sense. Morty was calming to listen to, and he was excellent at getting right to the heart of how our beliefs are formed in a non-judgmental way. I especially loved how he walks you through identifying who first told you that mistakes and failure are bad, while pointing out that they probably did the best they knew how and didn’t mean any harm. I was able to identify who I feel I got that belief from, without feeling angry at them for it. Morty was so right. People don’t mean to pass on harmful beliefs, and that’s so important to keep in mind as you’re identifying the origins of beliefs.
I can see why so many people have been helped by him and everyone at the Lefkoe Method.
Someone just gave me the book Re-Create Your Life and I have just begun reading it. Shelly, I was sorry to read about your loss of Morty when I went online to find out more about The Lefkoe Institute and Decision Maker Institute. Thank you for continuing the website and the work that you began as a couple. Reading the first book and continuing to do “the internal work that I need to do to release myself from the controlling negative thoughts that have injured me for too many years” is my #1 goal for 2019 and I am moving forward with that goal. May God bless you and yours throughout the coming New Year and beyond.
I was heartbroken to learn that Marty had passed away. All the while I have been reading and studying your work he seemed so close and real. I even had hopes of meeting him one day.
He has left us all an incredible gift. I want to help spread the word. This needs the recognition and acceptance it deserves.
All the best

Oh my goodness. I had no idea that Morty passed away.
So very sorry to learn this.
My sympathies to his entire family and close friends.
Morty was such a great man I’ve really enjoyed the natural confidence program so far and have listened to all his podcasts and watched his videos r.i.p
Dear Shelly, I am so sad to hear that an amazing personality like Morty is no more. I am really impressed by his teachings and your teachings too.
Lots of love to you Shelly.
Hi,
I just came across Morty’s belief elimination process 4 days back and the ease of use and results are amazing.
I am happy for your completion of journey in this life form and moving on “Having lived a life of making a difference in human form and continuing to make the difference as formless through the work U left behind for us and generations to come.”
THANKS
I’ve written my comments in FB before. Even after a couple of months, at times, the profound loss hits me over and over. And i’m a total stranger. I cannot even begin to imagine the ache in your hearts. He was a wonderful soul. Loving. Non judgmental. Thank you for continuing his work. Stay strong. Hugs.
So sad to hear of Morty’s passing. The belief elimination process has made a big difference to my life, I could not imagine living without it now. Thank you Morty for sharing your work and good luck to his family and business associates with continuing it. Rest in peace Morty.
Hey – I just discovered this program and have been enjoying the elimination of beliefs program. I had no idea that Morty had passed!! My most sincere condolences to his surviving family. Wishing you all well!

I’m just finding out about this and I’m very sorry for your loss, I said to myself why isn’t Morty sending anymore so I back stepped through all your previous emails to find the last one sent by him, it was a real shocker. His method really helped me remove my emotional burdens and believe in myself again. Mortgage will truly be missed, I’m sure he helped plenty of people. I pray God comforts you during these times and blesses you and your family.
Sincerely, Tyree
Shelly – I wanted to send my love to you and your family – I know Morty would say it’s not necessary for any of us to suffer, but I have to say, he will be sorely missed!! Him and his work have been an endless source of inspiration for me and countless others – he saved my sanity and my life when I was in the depths of despair – what words could I ever say that would be enough to thank him for that!?!? All my love, Renee
The most beautiful sight we will ever see. . . is the Dawn of Our Enlightenment!
Dear Shelly and Family,
I can think of no words so say, other than I Love you.
Thank you for allowing the world to share in your family and life.
Thank you for offering so much help and so much love and kindness with your work. Many blessings and love to you and your family for doing so much for so many.
I always felt Morty’s sincere desire to help others. I am grateful for his core message about not assigning meaning to events in order to stay calm and centered. I think about his message often when I am feeling overwhelmed. Thanks so much Morty, you made a difference in my life.
My sincere condolences to the Morty’s family. Morty’s life teachings helped me a lot to really know myself. Thank you.
Shelly,
God bless you and your family. The Lefkoe Method is a brilliant program and I look forward to using it for the rest of my life. Morty, with this concept & program, opened my eyes to a problem that has haunted me for ages. I thank the Universe for allowing his teachings to cross my life’s path. I’m sure he’s in a great place and I wish you and the family he had a great future.
Be blessed!!
What can I say but thank you! Like so many other people, I have been influenced by Morty in a great way. If not for him and his Method-along with his patented delivery I would not be the person I am today. Thanks so much for your Presence Morty, and Bless your family too!!
The Lefkoe method has helped me dramatically personally and in my therapy with clients. The Lefkoe family is also to special, warm, fun and loving. Sending so much love and good feelings.
Shelly and family:
Though I did not know Morty personally his work which is rooted in kindness and love has touched me. May God comfort your loss.
Peace to your hearts.
Sincerely,
Garrett

Oh I just noticed this now about Morty’s passing..so sorry! Thanks Morty for sharing your knowledge with everyone..you will be missed.
Dear Shelly and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. May Morty’s “new journey” be as helpful to those around him as this one was. I enclose a Native American Prayer which I hope will console you during those times that sadness rears its head. Take care.
Native American Prayer
I give you this one thought to keep: I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the sweet uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the starshine of the night.
I am present in a quiet room. I am in all the flowers that bloom.
I am in the birds that sing. I am in each and every lovely thing.
Do not think of me as gone for I am with you still in each new dawn.
that is beautiful Alana. Thanks you
Thank you so much for creating your freedom courses. These techniques are helping me to walk in freedom in areas that I’ve wanted to “let go of” for a long time. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world!
Dear Shelly, Blake, Brittany,
I am so deeply sad for your loss and for the loss of such a compassionate man who touched and will continue to impact so many people’s lives.
Morty’s work has impacted my life in so many ways that words cannot fully express. I am forever grateful for the wonderful man he was, the patient and kind ways he coached everyone, and for his passion to help people live happier and more fulfilling lives.
Morty will forever be in my heart and in my thoughts. I would not have been who I am without Morty’s work and warm support.
With all my love,
Pantea
Thank you Morty for helping to free me from my beliefs. I live a much fuller, richer and healthier life because of you and everyone I come into contact with benefits as well. You planted seeds of love and understanding in every person you helped and I know your work will live on. You’ve affected so many people’s lives with your own. What a beautiful thing you did. My deepest condolences to you Shelly and to the rest of Morty’s family and friends. I hope it’s comforting to know his memory lives on with so many of us that he helped. Love to you all.
God bless
🙁 Sorry for your loss.
It took me until now to get my thoughts together enough to write something here. First of all, I’m very sorry for your loss – not only for Morty’s family, but for everyone who was impacted by his work.
When I saw Rodney’s note in my inbox, I was initially shocked, and then saddened…and then I felt regret, that I didn’t take the chance to study with Morty even more. And finally, I felt an extreme sense of gratitude for everything that Morty and the Lefkoe Institute have done for me, and as a result, for my family.
I don’t know that I can describe in words the degree to which my life has improved thanks to Morty. I went from being extremely fearful – a 9 / 10 – to being able to walk down the street and talk to random people. My relationship with my wife improved. I learned to experience reality, to listen, rather than to react. My sense of peace and contentment in the world became an almost everyday thing. My spirituality deepened. And I was given the power to change my beliefs. To be in control of my life – and also to allow things to be as they are. I learned to love others – even random strangers. I even got the chance to help a few people dissolve limiting beliefs, and to watch them change almost instantly.
And that is just the beginning.
I am so very grateful to all of you – and I especially want to thank you for continuing to offer classes and to spread his work.
I cannot imagine what my life would be like now had I not come across Morty’s work.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love,
Liane
Thank you Morty for being You and for sharing your bright light in the world. My condolences to your family, friends and many students.
With love from Linda
Shelly, Blake, and Brittany, I’m so sorry to hear about Morty’s passing. He has (and you too!) changed countless lives for the better. I’m so thankful to have come across his teachings and ways of helping us rethink and change our beliefs for the better. I will never forget getting to interact with him during some of the courses I took. I use his philosophies daily when I talk with my kids and when I work with my clients. Life changing work that will live on forever. That is a legacy to be proud of.
Much love to you.
