"Better than Cosmo! Others just recite facts, but I like your posts best because of the in-depth analysis."
"Great work! Your stuff is a sight for sore eyes in this wash of dumbed down crap for the masses I see all the time on the internet."
"Greg is a dapper gent, intelligent, and easy to hang with. He made me feel right at home in his film noir-esque lair. We talked at great length about books, influences (we both write), and on a broad range of topics that might cause one to raise an eye brow while pondering. He was great fun to roam the city with. I'm looking forward to another round of pursuing art exhibits and deep dialog over late night coffees the next time we cross paths."
"Greg! Thank you so much! I will not forget this! Your help will make it easier for me to secure a job when I get back home from Switzerland!"
"Dude I hate to write you about this again but those nutrition tips you sent me were a fucking godsend. Anyway, I do appreciate ya... you're a good egg."
"Dear Mr. Greg: You are creative and amusing... two things I find irresistible. If I didn't live so far away, I'd go after you myself! Thanks for all the laughs."
"Hey thanks for all the stuff on girls and relationships. I was up reading last night for like 3 hours. We had an earthquake not too long ago here in California, but man, some of the stuff you wrote shook me more than the quake!"
"I have to say, you provided several hours of entertainment for me just now. It is a great thing to know there are other people with similarly twisted senses of humor and intelligence. Thank you very much Greg Thompson, and good luck with the woman of your dreams. Should you ever feel the need to entertain me again, please feel free to do so, I'll take it any way I can get it."
"He may not have the following like many of the guru's out there, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that Greg is one of the best copywriters in America today."
"You're a very quotable man, Greg. I loved some of your bits of wisdom so much I posted them on my Facebook! It's easy to tell many of the things you say come from a place of true experience."
"Greg did work for our tour company for several years. What impresses us most about him is his ability to combine the technical know-how with the creative side of advertising to produce results faster. Instead of hiring a copywriter, artist, and web guy, we can get all of that and more in one savvy individual."
"The best thing I like about your writing is how I feel the presence of your heart among the words. You say what you mean and do what you say. I admire the authenticity of your beliefs even though I don't always agree completely."Archive for 'happiness' tag

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011Ask most people this question nowadays and they’re likely to scoff and act like you’re an idiot for even bringing up the issue. “OF COURSE it’s not!” they’ll protest, “Just look at ____” and then they’ll rattle off whatever their favorite Utopias are they’ve read about recently. “We’ve GOT to do something about this,” they’ll [...]
How To Trick Yourself Into Getting More Done In Less Time
Sunday, November 30th, 2008I used to think routines – especially morning ones – were only for the dull mindless masses who voluntarily shut down a part of their brain every day in the name of conformity to society norms. “Live free,” I’d proclaim, shaking my defiant fist, “Viva la resistance!” I thought that, until in actual practice of [...]
How To Enjoy Your Life More: Part 4 – 11 Questions To Measure Your Happiness
Saturday, August 9th, 2008Normally, my existential views would automatically lead me to say “Success is anything you want it to be. It’s up to you to give your life meaning.” And that’s still true. But since we’re all flesh-and-blood biological machine human beings who cannot rise above our own humanity (not that we’d WANT to, but still) there [...]
How To Enjoy Your Life More: Part 2
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008History is full of debauched slobs who drank, drugged, and bumbled their way through life, sometimes to tragic ends. Are these to be taken as examples of the “good life”? Hardly. As always, the pendulum swings, and the excessive, unrestrained indulgences of our forebears simply represent the dangers of unbridled hedonism. A touch of restraint [...]
A Brief History Of You And Your Stuff
Monday, June 23rd, 2008It’s ironic we’re looking to industrial designers to save the earth when the profession has been so instrumental in feeding society’s ravenous desire for gratuitous change. In the 1920′s, GM started tweaking the looks of its cars each year - an effort to boost sales in a saturated market. The ploy worked: other carmakers followed suit, [...]
