Summary
Did you seek the Nike Olympics advert- asking 'Am I a bad person - because I want to win?' It got a few people talking before the Games, but once they started it didn't resonate. Because this Olympics, more than any other, exhibited beautiful examples of vulnerability, gratitude, humility, transcending tribalism, and mental-health wisdom. Nike were beind the curve.
One person (and organisation) who is most certainly ahead of the curve is Sam Parfitt, founder of the true Athlete Project, who do remarkable things to harness the power of sport to create a more compassionate world.

My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success By Losing Yourself draws on some of my favourite interviews over the last six years. In it, I seek to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found.

Working with me 1-1 : Testimonials
“Each session with Simon has been enjoyable and enlightening in equal measure.Through our conversations I have learnt a lot not only about non-duality and Simon’s use of his own experiences are really helpful in grasping the ideas behind it all. After each chat I really feel like my ‘cup has been filled" - Jack
"I have to say that in the days following our call I felt as though there had been a profound shift.The days that followed were some of the best days I have had in many years as there seemed to be so much more space between me any my thoughts." - Henry
"What Simon did so beautifully and directly, was put back into my hands the ability to do some self-inquiry. I did the inquiry and freedom was revealed. I would whole heartedly recommend you speak with Simon as he brings a lightness, fun and focus to non-duality." - Kate
