My Journey
Greg Baer, M.D.

Seeking Happiness through Success

Like most of us, I was told as a child that if I did all the right thingsā€”set my goals high, worked hard, and followed the rules along the wayā€”I would accomplish great things. And it was further implied that, as a result, I would grow up to be happy. All our lives, weā€™ve heard people declare that theyā€™d be happy if only they had more money, or a better job, or more sex, or a bigger house, or more opportunity to travel, or something else. I was determined to ensure my future happiness by having an abundance of all those things and more, and from an early age I worked hard to earn them.

I was valedictorian of my high school class, finished college in two and a half years, and received the highest honors in medical school. After completing my internship and specialty training in eye surgery, I eventually established one of the most successful ophthalmology practices in the country. I performed thousands of operations and taught other physicians locally and across the country. I was a leader in my church and in the local Boy Scout organization. I had everything money could buy, and I was a husband and the father of five beautiful children.

Something was Missing

By the time I reached my late thirties, Iā€™d accomplished almost every goal Iā€™d ever set for myself, but despite all my successes, I slowly came to the terrible realization that I had not achieved the happiness Iā€™d been promised. When I was standing in front of a group of physicians, teaching the latest surgical techniques, and everyone was admiring me for my knowledge, I felt relatively satisfied with my life for the moment. And some of those expensive vacations were exciting while I was actually in those far-off, exotic places. But when I was all alone, with nothing to distract me, I knew something was missingā€”I just didnā€™t know what it was. I couldnā€™t have worked any harder. Iā€™d done everything Iā€™d been assured would bring me the happiness I wanted, but still something was wanting.

I found it difficult to sleep at night and began to take some of the sleeping pills we kept at the office for post-surgical patients. When those were no longer effective, I took other tranquilizers, and before long I was injecting narcotics every night. I rationalized my drug addiction for a long time, but it increasingly affected my behavior and my emotional health. Then, one evening, as I sat in the woods behind my house with a loaded Smith and Wesson 10mm semi-automatic pressed to my head, I finally realized that I couldnā€™t rationalize my behavior any longer. I knew I needed to do something about my life.

Drug Rehab and Searching for Happiness

I went to an in-patient drug treatment facility, and after my discharge I participated in several twelve-step programs for a while. Getting off the drugs saved my life, but it only put me back where Iā€™d been when I started using them. I was still desperately missing something, but this time I was determined to find out what it was. I tried individual and group therapy, support groups, menā€™s groups, New Age techniques, and Native American spiritual groups, among others. Each had wisdom to offer, but the old emptiness I felt was not being filled.

In my searching, I found many others whose feelings were similar to mine. Most of them hadnā€™t been addicted to drugs, but they all were missing the profound happiness theyā€™d always hoped for in their lives. We began to meet together in our homes, where we tried a variety of techniques Iā€™d experienced or read about. Gradually, we eliminated the things that didnā€™t work, and we discovered some principles that were astonishingly simple and effective. People who had been unhappy for a long time, in many cases despite years of therapy, were finding the first genuine happiness theyā€™d ever known.

Finding Happiness

As we began to figure out what worked, I started writing down what weā€™d learned, handing out a few pages at a time to the men and women who participated in those early ā€œexperiments.ā€ Eventually, my observations became two self-published books that have now been read by hundreds of thousands. Iā€™ve shared these principles with people all over the country, and as theyā€™ve applied them, their lives have changed in remarkable ways.

When I was trying to fill my emptiness, and later, as I was learning to change my life, I made many mistakes as a person, a husband, and a father. Among other things, those mistakes caused the end of my twenty-two year marriage. Learningā€”as I discoveredā€”can be very expensive. Now Iā€™m deeply gratified to see the results of what Iā€™ve learned, and to share it all with you. My second wife and I are the parents of seven children between us, and weā€™re happier than weā€™d ever imagined it was possible to be.

Sharing Happiness

I have written and produced more than twenty books, CDs, and DVDs on the subjects of unconditional love (Real LoveĀ®), relationships, dating, marriage, parenting, conflict resolution and rehabilitation, which have been translated into many languages and sold to millions worldwide. I am considered an international expert on these subjects.

I counsel individuals, couples, families, and corporations from all over the world.

I train psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage therapists, and coaches worldwide who have discovered that traditional therapy is grossly ineffective. I teach them how they can make a real and lasting difference in the individual happiness of their clients and in the ability of their clients to participate in fulfilling relationships.

I founded a Non-Profit organization, The Real Love Company, dedicated to teaching the real meaning of love, replacing anger and confusion with peace and confidence in individual lives and relationships.

I started RealLoveParents.com which uses these teachings to give parents the "instruction book" they didn't getā€”but needā€”to learn how to raise happy and responsible children.

I am dedicated to helping create a generation of emotionally stable adults by teaching parents NOW how to raise happy and responsible children. Effective parents experience more joy and have naturally eliminated a need to respond to stress. Happy and responsible children grow to be effective leaders in their own families and in society.

My goal is to teach you the real meaning of love, replacing anger and confusion with peace and confidence in your individual life and in your relationships. I can help you.

Real LoveĀ® is Probably Not What You Think

We teach the real meaning of love, replacing anger and confusion with peace and confidence in individual lives and relationships.

WHAT IS REAL LOVE?

It's not weak, and it's not fleeting, and it never makes you feel small or manipulated. Nearly every day, most people ask some form of this question, and it tends to fry their brains. Why? Because it's the wrong question.

The REAL question is, "What is Unconditional Love?" That is so different from what most people have ever known that we're going to call it Real LoveĀ®. THAT is the kind of "love" we all NEED. 

With Real Love there is no disappointment, impatience, irritation, or anger. Wow, now that is differentā€”so different that most people have never truly felt it.

NO QUICK & EASY SHORTCUTS

Who doesnā€™t love a quick fix? But I cannot offer you ten quick and easy steps to overcome a lifetime of pain and confusion. They donā€™t exist. But never again do you have to wander around in head-scratching frustration, because youā€™ll be following easy-to-understand principles that work.

If youā€™re committed to learning how to become loving and fulfilled, then Iā€™M committed to helping you. Iā€™ve dedicated my LIFE to helping YOU. Together weā€™ll change YOUR world. Together weā€™ll change THE world. Youā€™re not alone.  

Weā€™ll do this together.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Youā€™ll finally learn real reasons you often become angry, confused, and fearful. Thatā€™s a huge step toward finding a solution for you and the people close to you. 

You wonā€™t feel isolated. Your days of feeling alone are over. Youā€™ll have access to me and others who are able to help you while you implement these proven, satisfying, successful principles that result in loving, confidence and responsibilityā€”happiness!ā€”for you and the people close to you.

 You wonā€™t be fooled anymore by the traditional self-help paths that never, ever work. Instead, you will learn a very practical and easier way to navigate your daily life fearlessly.

I'm dedicated to helping you become a powerful and effective person and to help you feel loved, to be loving and responsible.
