Press and Media

Do you need an expert that you can TRUST to make a good impression? Do you want someone with a deep, soothing voice that is articulate and easy to understand? Need a professional with media experience?

Dr. Ryder is an expert in psychology with a mission to educate and liberate people from small thinking. See below how he can meet your needs...

 

Dr. Ryder's book POSITIVE DIRECTIONS and concept of Shifting Polarities explain what goes wrong in the mind and how to reverse negative situations in a healthy way. The main idea is to take the "pathology" out and help each individual find their own way to return to a positive balance.

He has been nicknamed the Mental Fitness Guru because he offers straight forward advice about what it means to be invincible, being able to assert yourself without losing your cool, maintaining a positive attitude regardless of circumstances, and so on. The key to being mentally fit is the subject of his book and many of his presentations.

Just like we all realize there is a necessity to exercise to be strong, flexible energetic, have good balance and enjoy better health; the very same factors apply to our mental fitness. A fit mind is strong, flexible, motivated, resilient, stable, confident, optimistic, imaginative, creative, resourceful, focused, attentive, secure, assertive, patient, rational, intuitive, independent, responsible, decisve, curious, and of course, loving. That's just the beginning of the list.

Just like with the body, you do not have to exercise to manage through life. There are plenty of overweight and unhealthy people to prove that. The same is true for the MIND, we know there are many people who are very stressed , anxious, angry, impulsive, lazy, selfish, forgetful, apathetic, indecisive, fragile, pessimistic, dependent, irritable, or irritating, and just miserable to be around. They still manage to go through life. The question is can we help people become more aware of what it takes to be more mentally fit and live a better life? I am certain the answer is absolutely yes!

My work is dedicated to enlightening and liberating people to be more aware and achieve more of their potential. If you are a member of the media, be certain that you have found a great positive resource for your audience.
