A LITTLE NOTE FOR YOU: If you just Googled “what are the three desires,” you probably saw links to Buddhist teachings. Please pardon our bluntness on this, but they get it wrong. We’re glad they understand that there’s a deep problem with humanity, but Buddhism doesn’t understand what’s really wrong, and what went wrong. And they certainly don’t understand what it takes to change.

If you’re researching, you’ll also see that some teach “Five Desires,” or “10 Desires,” or “16 Desires.” Even the “safety, belonging, and mattering” teaching misses it. There are only three categories of desires, and all the others fall into one of the three main categories.

Alright, now please read on…

LESS EXPENSIVE…BETTER

A PROMISE
You will finally see your marriage, parenting, and relationship problems clearly. QUESTION: Do you really know why you do what you do? What are the human desires? You WILL understand your desires.

STRUGGLING AS A PARENT?
When you understand the DEEPEST reasons for your child’s behavior, your parenting responses will become more productive.

HARD RELATIONSHIPS DRAIN YOU
Painful relationships drain you mentally and physically don’t they? The next time you’re trapped in raw conflict, what would you pay to fix it?

PSYCHOLOGY MISSES IT
Because psychology doesn’t understand human desires, they teach “nature/nurture” theory. While this can be somewhat helpful, there’s something deeper that drives behavior. What are the human desires? We’ll help you understand what they are.

  • “This is the second time I’ve attended Three Desires because it counteracts myths in popular psychology, and I wanted to get the correct perspective engrained. I learned the importance of understanding desires and how they effect relationships. I also learned that opposing desires generate conflict. I’d recommend this to anyone who works with others. The seminar is so good, and Mr. Bender’s style is excellent.”

  • “My take aways: Conflict is a result of a clash of desires. Recognizing the clashing desires is the beginning of resolution like finding the holes that need to be plugged in a sinking boat…”.
