The driving power of the WiseWell Program is a compressed set of 24 special Focus Phrases that instantly shift your attention in very specific and universally-important directions. The more you say these Focus Phrases silently in your mind, the more attention and manifestation power you aim in these important directions. Here in one video program [...]
For your evaluation and enjoyment, here are five WizeWell Breather Break video-programming samples, presenting our three different formats for daily at-work Focus Phrase instruction and support. For each day in the 6-week WizeWell Program, employees view 1) a primary daily lesson; 2) later that morning and afternoon, they can take two more Breather Breaks to [...]
Our one supreme freedom is our power to choose where to focus our attention each new moment. What we focus on determines what we manifest – it’s that basic and that important. But both the media and advertizing industries are doing their best to dominate our focus of attention … and influence our decisions. It [...]
This new 3-minute video by John Selby and Birgitta Steiner presents the core intent and dynamic of the WizeWell Program:
Most of us spend a great deal of our waking lives at work. Survival is a challenge, and often generates anxiety and stress, which in turn damage our health, reduce our productivity and performance, and definitely get in the way of enjoying each new moment to the fullest. With my colleagues in marketing and wellness [...]
When we look deeply at America’s economic dilemma, several points are now obvious: 1: Computers are taking over many of the cognitive functions that workers used to perform; 2: Likewise, manufacturing is more and more being taken over by computer automation; 3: Elsewhere in the world, most of the ‘rote performance and productivity work’ can [...]
We are continually making choices regarding what we do during each new day – 220 discrete choices every day just deciding what we’re going to eat … and around half of all our actions don’t even include a choice – they’re habitual, rote, preconditioned behaviors we don’t even think about. Life is obviously all about [...]
For the last six months, we’ve been evolving a new training program for people to use at-work to help them stay sane, enthusiastic, creative and in the zone no matter what’s happening on the job. This program is a pragmatic fulfillment of many years of my work with individuals and groups outside the work setting [...]
Based on John’s forthcoming book with Greg Voisen called “Wisdom, Wellness, & Redefining Work,” this Symposium will feature John Selby and six other experts in the field of wellness in the workplace. The Symposium is being co-hosted by the California Health & Longevity Institute at the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake Village just north of Los [...]
For literally billions of years on planet earth, change happened very very slowly, in geological time frames where a million years one way or another didn’t much matter in terms of what changed during that time. Now and then sudden events occurred, such as a meteor hitting the planet – but mostly, change was incremental [...]
The at-work Breather Break has become a key ingredient in the new vision of stress relief and innovation at work, and I’m often asked about the origins of the term. For that answer, we need to look back forty years and revisit a most wonderful philosopher and meditation guide named Alan Watts, who was the [...]
This is a very common misunderstanding – that being aware of one’s breathing and bodily presence somehow detracts from getting things done. The opposite is almost always the case – the more you hold your attention here in this present moment, the better your performance in the moment. This is all about ‘being in the [...]
For the last six months, we’ve been evolving a new training program for people to use at-work to help them stay sane, enthusiastic, creative and in the zone no matter what’s happening on the job. This program is an evolution of many years of my work with individuals and groups outside the work setting – [...]
There is currently a buzz in many circles about the word ‘presence’ and how we can tap into a deeper quality of presence in our lives. Presence is all about ‘being present’ in the present moment. But … how can we be more present? Most of my work both for corporate and individual application centers [...]
For many years now, we’ve been exploring the impact of stressed breathing patterns on mental alertness and other cognitive functions. I’ve just done a new review of research on this important theme, and the documentation now entirely clear: When stress and anxiety, time pressure and other stressors tense the natural breathing cycle, the resultant shallow [...]
Someone observing our current culture from afar would probably notice that we spend a great deal of time focusing on conflict points rather than choosing to focus on more-rewarding cooperation points. As if in self-torture, we tend to fixate on what upsets us – makes us angry and stressed out and worried and confused and [...]
The success-variable at work that right now needs urgent attention is the awareness variable. As John Selby insists, the underlying quality of awareness that a company sustains in its leaders and employees determines the overall success and durability of that company. In this recent lecture, John highlights the importance of the universal 12 Focus Phrases [...]
Worldwide, our business community is still reeling from its most-recent crash, and trying to figure out the root cause of its recurrent collapses and general state of weakness and confusion. John Selby recently visited San Diego and did an interview with Kristen White, talking in depth about what he sees as the root psychological problem [...]
(this was written for the Huffington Post …) “The person who maintains a higher quality of awareness will almost always succeed beyond someone with a lower level of awareness – that’s a basic performance law. And companies that maintain a higher awareness profile will outperform companies whose leaders and employees are less aware, less alert, [...]
Everywhere in the world, everything is speeding up – so we in turn tense up. Time pressure and anxiety about the future too often give us the emotional shakes, and sometimes we even collapse inwardly under the strain. Not good. If we continue getting more and more stressed, trying to go faster and faster even [...]
How can you act, to brighten the mood of your workplace? Right this very moment, you are in charge of where you focus your power of attention, and what thoughts you hold in your mind. If you focus on negative thoughts and scenarios in your mind, you’re going to make yourself feel low and bad [...]
When you have just 90 seconds to regroup, refresh, recover and relax, a short mini-uplift video can be a life-saver, the perfect support tool for instantly shifting your focus away from all the stressors at work, toward a bright present-moment mood. Stress gets you when you let your breathing get tight, when you get lost [...]
(Quote from Executive Genius) “There’s no question – a person who maintains a higher quality of awareness at work will almost always win out over someone with a lower level of awareness; that’s a basic performance law. And other variables remaining constant, the company that maintains a higher awareness quotient will outperform companies whose leaders [...]
Everyone experiences regular bouts of low energy and mental clarity at work. What can you do about this? One solution seems to be to bring to mind certain Focus Phrases that boost alertness and energy, or to use your mobile or computer to access short (even just 90-second) video uplifts that instantly redirect your attention [...]

The MOOD UPLIFT APP is based on the Focus Phrase [...]
