Dear Dr. Hurd,

I've been a subscriber to your Newsletter for some years now, and it is always good. One that really stands out is 'The Grasshopper and the Ant,' rewritten to be politically correct [Volume 10, Number 1]. The most recent Newsletter is full of excellent insights and identifications and making certain confusions of the day very explicit. I whispered an awed 'Bravo' after reading it. Not just one article - all of them - were outstanding. The choice-compulsion-responsibility issue in 'Priests;' the misplacement of responsibility and guilt in 'The Psychology of Guilt;' the social-metaphysicianism of narcissism vs. true  self-esteem, and reason vs. instinct relating to an independence-dependence schism in 'Running on Instinct' were all marvelous - and all related. All pointed to reason and responsibility vs. irrationality and irresponsibility. Thank you for such a magnificent job! (PPS: I also enjoyed the cartoon.)

The Living Resources Newsletter
The Modern Toolkit for Rational Living

For over 15 years, The Living Resources Newsletter has provided distinguished and valuable insight into the psychological significance of political, economic and social issues. For example, how are your feelings and moods affected by TV news? Or, learn a sure-fire way to deal with difficult friends, family and bosses. Or, how our wonderful health care system will be destroyed if the out-of-control politicians are allowed to implement their one-size-fits-all policies. Or, the damage to our kids' self-esteem caused by arbitrary psychological labels like “Attention Deficit Disorder” (ADD).

Every day we are bombarded with carefully constructed half-truths and "scientific" sounding nonsense. The biased media, the power-hungry politicians, the various self-serving "activists" (and whomever else they have in their pockets) want YOU to believe it.

Well, The Living Resources Newsletter doesn’t believe it.

Psychotherapist, columnist, radio host and author, Dr. Michael Hurd, skillfully and rationally debunks pop-psychology and mainstream political double-talk. His hard-hitting articles challenge the fallacy of "universal health care," our culture of victimization, the media "elite" and their politicians who feed on your guilt and "humility," and the creeping menace of "political correctness"--just to mention a few. No wonder Dr. Hurd's second book is entitled Grow Up America!--it is indeed time that America did just that.

The Living Resources Newsletter is published bi-monthly (six times a year) and offers a fresh, NON-politically correct viewpoint on what’s happening in our society. From the wildly socialist leanings of our out-of-control government (that’s YOUR wealth that Barack Obama wants to “spread around!"), to survival skills for parents, from dealing with borderline personalities and obsessive-compulsives, to, well, much, much more--it’s all there, in your email box, six times a year. All for $1.97 a month! Feel free to cancel anytime, but, frankly, very few people do. Fresh ideas and common sense are at a premium these days.

A Voice the World Needs to Hear

Fiscally conservative, yet socially broadminded—and proud of it! Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative -- if you're a thinker, The Living Resources Newsletter will get you thinking, and keep you thinking.

A brand new issue of The Living Resources Newsletter is sent to you electronically every other month. All six pages are designed like a magazine, so it can either be printed out in color and kept in a binder, or read directly on your screen.

Every page is filled with NEW topics and ideas YOU want to know about. Past issues have uncompromisingly tackled “sacred cows” and other controversial subjects such as:

  • What’s so bad about being selfish? Shouldn’t YOU choose who your money goes to? After all, YOU earned it!
  • The psychology of envy and jealousy. How to recognize it and how to get over it.
  • Why philosopher Ayn Rand was right. The amazing parallels between Atlas Shrugged and today's political debacle.
  • Why “Universal Health Care” ("feel-good" double-speak for "socialized medicine") spells disaster.
  • Do you REALLY want unconditional love? How about a little respect too?
  • Is depression physical or mental?
  • The dumbing-down of public schools in the name of “fairness.” Is it REALLY fair to your kids?
  • Today’s cult of sensitivity: How “conspicuous compassion” hurts us all.
  • No, you are NOT your brother’s keeper, and by the way, he isn’t yours, either! Find out about the virtues--and power--of self-reliance and self-responsibility.
  • Emotional terrorists: Authoritarian personalities and entrepreneurs of intimidation.
  • Does it REALLY matter what other people think of you?
  • The virtues of active parenting! How to raise kids to have TRUE self-esteem.
  • Is the cost of living for the “common good” just too high?
  • How liberal guilt can bankrupt you emotionally AND financially.
  • Can psychotherapy really work?
  • The truth about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
  • The psychology of superstition and mysticism.
  • Success stories! The psychology behind the “Iron Man” who lost almost 135 pounds.
  • The groundbreaking and enlightened concepts of educator Maria Montessori.
  • A rational Thanksgiving: Why not give thanks for the best of the human spirit?
  • The liberal naivete of a typical college student, and Dr. Hurd's responses.
  • Did you ever wonder how 90% of kids, all of a sudden, contracted "ADD?" (The public schools--stretched to the limit by government interference--and the drug companies--pumping out Ritalin by the ton--want you to believe it!)
  • Take a close look at the rational philosophies of Ayn Rand, Aristotle and others. Note how their observations and warnings are beginning to parallel the political disaster unfolding in the United States right now!

Now, MORE THAN EVER, The Newsletter is truly a voice the world needs to hear.
