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.

Mortylefkoe.com is an incredible resource of information - sort of an encyclopedia of personal development. I often use the search tool to read articles in reference to certain topics I'm curious about or am working on in my life. Practically any topic you might be curious about, Morty has an article chuck full of life-altering information in it. It is an almost never-ending source of information and actionable steps to improve your life.

No matter how well you know Morty and his work, you will learn a TON from it and grow as a person. It is a great intro to his work, as well as a great way to dive deeper. I am personally very grateful that he continues to write in it his new thoughts and techniques. It has helped me incredibly in my life!

There's more actionable advice in Morty's blog than in most of the self-help books out there (I know because I've read most of them). Plus it's free. So I urge you to start reading it, today!

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.

Thank you! I've read and considered the concept of creating my own world many many times but this is the first time I've actually experienced and felt it at my core. As you point out, it is one thing to know something intellectually and another to actually feel it and fully believe it. Thank you so much. This was truly a positive life changing experience. I will pass it on to all of my friends. I wish you every happiness and continued success.

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!"
