The self-development system that has helped me the most over the last twenty some years was created by someone you probably never heard of and I never met: Bruce DiMarsico.
Bruce developed a simple way to explore beliefs to find out why we aren’t usually happy (or any other word that suggests the same thing, from anger to fear to grief to envy to you-name-it).
I first heard of his method from Barry Neil Kaufman, who popularized it in such books as To Love Is To Be Happy With, and who I studied with briefly in 1985.
I later became very comfortable with the method (to the degree that I almost became a full-time practitioner of it rather than a marketer and author) after finding Mandy Evans, author of Travelling Free and Emotional Options, and a dear friend of mine for more than twenty years.
The system is called The Option Method.
I’ve written about it in such books of my own as The Key and Adventures Within. I also describe it in my new audio program, The Missing Secret. I’ve even trained my Miracles Coaches in how to use it for people wanting to get clear to attract miracles into their lives.
Until recently, there’s never been a book about the inventor of Option, the late Bruce DiMarsico himself. That book is The Guru Next Door.
The Guru Next Door brings the spirit of personal development expert Bruce Di Marsico’s revolutionary concept — the Option Method — to you and me. This remarkable book shares both the author (Wendy Dolber)’s experience with the man and the clear thinking behind his refreshing and reflective teachings.
I’ve been working on my tan outside (beautiful weather here in Texas) and reading this book off and on. I love it. Bruce was dedicated to exploring why we aren’t happy, and what he kept discovering is that the only thing preventing happiness in any moment is simply a belief.
A belief. That’s it.
We feel what we feel due to our beliefs. Of course, most of those beliefs are operating out of our immediate awareness. You have to slow down and look for them, or have someone like a Miracles Coach help you spot them.
I’m loving The Guru Next Door and recommend it to you – but only if you want to be happy.
Ao Akua,

Thanks for this information. I immediately went to the Option Method Network site that you offered a link to, and , wow, you are right. There’s loads of great information there. I’ll also check out the other resources you mention. Thanks so much for your genuine generosity in sharing this information.
And, thanks for the Facebook heads up about Inspired Marketing. I’m looking forward to your and Craig’s book launch on Tuesday.

It’s so exciting to see this wonderful, powerful method getting so much new attention. I cannot imagine what my life would have been like if I had not found it and then you so long ago. Thank you for your boundless generosity of spirit, Joe!
Wendy Dolber, the author of “The Guru Next Door” knows as much about Bruce Di Marsico, the founder of the Option Method as anyone!
Thank you, Joe, for posting news about The Guru Next Door on your site. And thank you Mandy for your wonderful comments! My dream for the success of Guru is that it be fueled by a word of mouth campaign that circles the globe. I hope that everyone who loves it will tell someone and so on and so on. I can’t think of any better path for a book about the power of our word! Wendy Dolber
Hi Joe,
I’m so glad that you are also sharing the simple wisdom that Happiness is a Choise. I am a certified mentor from the Option Insitute – and I am a great fan og the Law of Attraction.
If you haven’t been at the option instute for a while – I highly recommend you to go back -it is truely a place of miracles, and they keep refining the teaching methods.
Raun – the son who was once autistic, mentally retarded and with an IQ less than 30, is today CEO – he has a near genuie IQ, he is smart, loving, caring and one of the most excellent group facilitators I have ever met. He is just one of the miracles.
I’ll defently look for the book the Guru Next Door. But I’ll also recommend the book “Power Dialogues” by Barry Neil Kaufman which is an excellent help to learning dialogue questions.
Greatings From Denmark.
With love
