Clearly very active and experiencing many separate and different views which inform attitudes and approaches.
Undeniably opinionated, and seeks to use the publications on this website, (which include more than just written blogs) to test and forge these opinions and suggestions into robust philosophies and approaches for real life implementation.
It is not though, the intention to produce a “template for living”. Rather, conceive a forum to ask the right questions when challenged with a particular problem. The site will remind us that “50% of the solution to the problem is the ability to ask the right questions about it”. Rob makes no apology, he has learnt that he has the knack of asking many of the ‘right, awkward questions” and will continue to hone those skills.
This is in order to achieve a broadly accepted and working solution to the issues life (will inevitably) challenge us with.
