Guy Rosenberg with Israeli racing driver Bar Baruch

In times of crisis, mental toughness comes more than handy. An unprecedented economic crisis is unravelling in Sri Lanka at the moment, reminding us the Buddhist principle that change is the only constant thing in life. 

From the individual in the lowest income bracket to the individual in the highest income bracket is feeling the pressure, though the degree of intensity of it varies. Sri Lanka certainly is in an inflection point. The attitude and the determination of Sri Lankan people will decide whether Sri Lanka can rise from the ashes as Japan after the WWII or just fade away as a country with great potential but never harnessed it. 

In this backdrop, what Guy Rosenberg offers could be invaluable. He teaches how to be mentally tough and keep your focus in high pressure situations. His techniques are based on what he learnt for the last 20 years traveling to the remote corners of the world, where he explored a mixed cultural approach as a solution for total mind control. 
In his pursuit of total mind control, he travelled to the most isolated regions in the Himalayas to understand the meditate lifestyle of yogis and remained with them for months at a stretch. At first unwelcome, Guy’s commitment to learn the authentic practice earned the trust and eventual acceptance from the mystics. He would then journey to the ashrams of Rishikesh, adapting his learnings to align with new and more diverse teachings. 

The next decade saw Guy following a similar routine, journeying to meet monks across different countries and continents. From the Shaolin temples of China to the Shinto shrines in Japan, from the origins of Buddhism in India to the present-day Buddhist practitioners of Sri Lanka. Through this exposure, Guy has gained extraordinary insights into the thought process and techniques of concentration, meditation and focus of the mind.  

Guy breaks down his technique into a direct approach of observing, identifying and directing the brain’s resources towards one specific task at hand that people wish to master. It is a fulfilling practice that guides one in self-restraint, neutralising distractions, sharpening thoughts and stabilising concentration.

With the wealth of invaluable knowledge he has accumulated over the years, today Guy offers his services to individuals and teams involved in high pressure environments, from industrious businessmen to ambitious stockbrokers to air traffic controllers to competitive sporting athletes. Some of Guy’s high-profile clients include Israeli GT3 racing drive Bar Baruch, elite level judoka and sambo competitor Alice Schlesinger, professional basketball player Murphy Halloway and Sri Lankan racing sensation Dilantha Malagamuwa. 

Guy’s love story with Sri Lanka is a pretty straight forward one. He first visited Sri Lanka as a tourist to explore its Buddhist roots. In the process, he fell in love with the country and its people and is now spending a significant amount of his time in the island nation. Guy also has a soft corner for Sri Lanka as his family, which was involved in tea business in Israel, had links with Sri Lanka in the olden days. Specially with the current turmoil in Sri Lanka, Guy feels that he could help Sri Lankan people and businesses with his teachings and trainings apart from the philanthropic work he carries out. He expects to hold his first training workshop in Sri Lanka shortly for a selected group of top corporate leaders, who are exposed to high pressure environments constantly. 

Meanwhile, going forward, Guy also believes he could be a link between billionaire Jewish businessmen in Israel and Sri Lankan corporates, through which, foreign direct investments could be channelled to Sri Lanka’s dollar-starved economy.
