By Royane Real

Let me introduce myself.

I'm a writer/publisher living in Saskatchewan, Canada.  I worked for about twenty years as a science educator in a museum, and before that I spent seven years working in a library.  I loved these jobs because I love teaching and learning.  I also love reading and writing and art.  I've wanted to be a writer for a long time, ever since I learned to read and found out that stories didn't just write themselves.

I've written two books so far.  One is on the topic of how to make friends, and one is about how you can improve the way that your brain works.  I'd like to find the time to write more books, but the research and the writing and polishing takes a long time.

It's been my dream for a long time to have a website where I could publish high quality articles about self help and self improvement. 

Even though I have read many self improvement books and articles, I found that I was often disappointed in the quality of much that I read.  Many self improvement books and articles are filled with a lot of fluff, very little practical information, and often give questionable advice.

I thought that it was time to put together a website where you could trust the information.  Where you wouldn't have to waste your time sorting out the few good gems from a mountain of badly written articles that had nothing to say.

I want my website to have the best, most accurate, and most helpful self improvement information that is available anywhere on the web.  That means I put a lot of care into selecting the articles I post, and I put a lot of thought into the commentaries I make.

The articles I write or choose to post on my site reflect my interests and my values.

Because I spent many years of my life suffering from depression, I have a particular interest in learning natural ways to overcome depression.  In my younger years I also suffered a lot from shyness, loneliness and terrible self esteem.  

I have had to do a lot of work to overcome these conditions and I would like to pass along what I have learned to other people.  That is why I have written books and reports to help people improve their lives.  

I'm very concerned about the connections that people make with each other, and I believe that we're living in a time when a lot of those social connections are breaking down.  I'd like to tell people that they can play a part in reversing that trend.

I'm opposed to mindless materialism and consumerism.  Although I am interested in the topic of how to become successful, I think we have to first think about what success really means.  Does success simply mean making a lot of money, no matter what the cost to your life, to your family and your community?  I don't believe that is what success means.

I'm interested in articles and books about goals and motivation, because for some reason, these qualities don't come naturally to me.  So I'm looking for ways to increase motivation that work for me, because I'm one of the toughest cases to motivate.

Right now on the Internet, there's a lot of writing about new age themes like "The Secret" and about manifesting abundance.  Most of these books and articles I find to be badly written, mindless pap.  Still, I believe there may be a tiny kernel of truth in the idea that we can influence our inner world and our outer world by the use of such techniques as visualization and affirmation.

When I was in my twenties, I always felt that I needed to integrate two different sides of me, the logical side and the magical side.

I'm a big fan of clear thinking, and I believe we should learn to be logical and scientific in our approach to many things.  But I also think we can't neglect the other aspects of ourselves.  We can't neglect our emotions, and our spiritual yearnings.  We can't neglect our relationships.  We can't neglect our creativity.

I believe we can use every circumstance, every triumph, every setback, and every quiet moment to learn something important.  I believe that many of the most important things we can learn cannot be expressed in words.

My site has been online since July 2009.   I want to put together a collection of hundreds of the best self help articles that you will find anywhere.  I have a commitment to improving the lives of others, a commitment to excellence in the articles and products I promote.

When I look for self improvement articles to put on my site, I end up rejecting about 98 % of them.  Most of them are just not good enough to go on my site. 

Many are poorly written, contain a lot of fluff and misinformation, or are just plain useless.

The ones that remain are the ones that have been helpful to me.  I hope they will be helpful to you.
