The best person to help with Motivation is Anthony Robbins - if you are truly committed to your son, you should seriously consider attending Tony's event called Unleash The Power Within. he stages these several times a year across the US, here is the link. http://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/unleash-the-power-within/ When someone's on a collision course with failure as you seem to be indicating, the problem is usually because the person is lacking something fundamental, love, respect, connection, confidence... It then gets manifested in self-sabotage in school or work depending on the person's age. In many cases it will extend to over-eating, smoking, drinking and drugs. My study book illustrates how anyone can use their skills to improve their grades so that as a minimum they can get by, pass by getting better grades than they are currently getting. That won't work with someone who WANTS TO FAIL. That seems to be your concern and it's a valid one. Hitting rock bottom in high school has potential repercussions for a lifetime. My suggestion is invest in Anthony Robbins' UPW event and see what happens - I would suggest you do it sooner rather than later. I have to reveal my bias - I have attended UPW 5 times. Because each time you attend you learn something new. I also have to reveal that when I had employees - ALL of them would attend UPW as a requirement to keep working for me. That is how powerful and valuable it is. Good luck and let me know how it goes. Dr Marc Dussault Unfortunately I do personal interventions.

He is IQ superior in math and reading, but at this age doesn't have a life goal/passion to inspire him. He is giving up on college and I don't know how to help him. We have talked and tried so many rewarding and consequence approaches. How do you inspire someone when they don't have a goal and they are giving up on themselves? He tells me to just let him fail the year and maybe then he will hit bottom and want to help himself. Thoughts?
