John Berling Hardy is an author and social commentator with fascinating insights into The Game. After many years working in the financial industry here and abroad, he returned to Toronto and to his business in carriage trade custom construction. John began to notice patterns - this wasn’t an isolated incident – this was a worldwide phenomena. The same inconsistencies, the same shifts in power, the same manipulations. This was when John began formulating the elements of The Game.
Gradually he began to see this pattern in all aspects of his life – business and personal. He spent much time thinking about what it was that he sensed but could not put his finger on. Finally he figured it out!
He developed the algorithm behind the seemingly chaotic array of events which he had experienced over the years. John found the master key to the players and the hidden game, a key that he wants to share with the world in order to help people from all nations to take control of their lives and to no longer be manipulated by “the players” of the world.
His book ‘Have We Been Played’ reveals this game and teaches you how to play ‘the players’.
Social Ju-Jitsu - Seminar
Seminar Overview:
We can all lament the loss of values which has come with this consumption obsessed society but, at least for the foreseeable future, it is here to stay. Therefore we have to learn to adapt to it if we are going to survive in the social jungle.
This societal shift towards narcissism has immediate implications for social survival. What we have in the past considered healthy social interaction was based on a kind of quid pro quo- I do you a good turn, with the implied expectation that you will attempt to reciprocate in turn. This has been so much a part of our way of relating to one another in society, most of us are not consciously aware of it. We simply took it for granted. The problem is that those who are narcissistic minimize what they receive from others and exaggerate what they give them in return. In this way ‘takers’ see themselves as ‘givers’. It is of no consequence how much we give to such people, as their inner calculus will spin events in such a way that they will not feel themselves obliged to us for what they have accepted from us in the way of assistance.
This means that the first step is to find a way to decisively determine if the other is an authentic person with whom there is the potential for a healthy relationship, or a self serving narcissist who is out to take what he can get from our interaction.
