About the Author - John Hart doesn’t play golf. While many blokes his age are working on their swing or arguing over who cheated at lawn bowls, John is usually off somewhere remote helping sort out problems in Indigenous communities or sitting at his desk writing… mostly to stay out of his wife’s hair. At 66, he calls himself “semi-retired,” but don’t believe it for a second. He’s still working as a consultant in the bush, troubleshooting community issues, developing youth programs, and gently refusing to play golf (again). Retirement? …. Never heard of her!! Now, don’t underestimate this boomer. He’s got a nursing qualification, a counselling qual, a background in exercise science, a Master’s in Disability with a focus on disability and rehab, quals in Business (let’s not forget the plumbing qual) and enough training certificates to wallpaper a “small - tiny house”. He’s also a documentary filmmaker not that there’s any money in that (trust him, he’s checked). From owning and running tourist resorts to being CEO of a community service organisation, John’s worn more hats than a race day marquee. He’s been writing books, policies, documentaries, and opinions on everything from health to motivation to leadership always with a bit of wit and a whole lot of lived experience. Yes, he can be annoying. Yes, he thinks he’s funny. But he genuinely loves helping people especially when it comes to cutting through the noise and giving real, honest advice.
John Hart is the author of 11 books, including LUNCHBOX LEGENDS: POWERING KIDS WITH REAL FOOD and Forever Youngish: The Longevity Revolution: Science based Secrets for a long, Healthy Life- An Effective Guide to Longevity and outlasting Everyone Else -“Well just maybe”. In addition to writing, they enjoy spending time on their other passions and interests. You can sign up to get updates about their writing here.

Why We Believe in Telepathy, Mediums, Religion, and Star Signs.
There is something profoundly human about the need to make sense of the world. From the earliest days of our species, we have looked at the stars, observed the cycles of nature, and listened for signs in our dreams, not merely to survive, but to understand our place in the vast and often inexplicable universe. This desire to see patterns, to...

How Neuroscience Explains Why We Think, Worry and See the World the Way We Do
This book explores how our brain quietly runs patterns, almost like an algorithm shaping: • Why we overthink or worry • Why we react emotionally (sometimes instantly) • Why two people can see the same situation completely differently • How past experiences wire our present behaviour • And most importantly… how we can rewire those patterns Drawing from...
To be fair, I had never truly experienced the dark undercurrent of a toxic workplace until relocating to Gippsland, Victoria. After years as a CEO and running my own consultancy, I decided to take some time out and return to the coalface, securing a role in suicide prevention. I was genuinely excited, believing I had the skills and experience to make a difference. What I quickly discovered was an environment where ideas were not welcomed but dismissed. Every suggestion was met with a blunt “...
The world is slightly messed up let’s be honest, maybe more than slightly. Each generation seems to think they’ve cracked the code, that they’re superior in wisdom, cooler in taste, sharper in thought. And yet, when you look closely, it’s the same story on repeat: everyone pointing fingers, declaring who’s “in” and who’s “uncool,” while quietly terrified they might be the ones on the outside. Social media has turned this insecurity into a circus. The platforms profit by pushing us against one...
I don’t think it gets much better than seeing someone laugh, smile, or simply radiate happiness especially when you know you had a hand in making that moment possible. There’s something deeply rewarding about contributing to another person’s success. I’ve never felt envy in those moments, only gratitude for being there to witness them. In fact, I often find that the achievements of others ignite something within me, pushing me to chase my own adventures and take on new challenges.
That pesky voice inside our heads can be both a friend and a foe. It whispers encouragement when we need courage, yet far too often it delivers doubt, shame, guilt or criticism. What we sometimes forget is that the voice we hear is not only shaped by our own thoughts but also by the words we consume from others and the words we direct toward ourselves.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,”words matter”. They have a way of taking hold in us. Strangely, the negative ones seem to cling far...
