He was impressed and wanted to know who taught me this and Im so not telling lol. Thing is I sense he'd like to be doing this for himself but doesnt know where to start and at the moment seems to be doing a grand job of blaming his lack of self esteem & confidence for every thing. When I said he needed to sort it, he said he couldnt afford too!
Aside from telling him about DR/DB which we all know is a big no-no, there are so many books and resources out there for him to tap in to, but it almost sounds like he wants the result but not the required effort (assuming, here).
I know you can't and shouldn't "fix him." but perhaps the next time he asks who " taught you this," you could lovingly "nudge" him: "I did." It's not rocket science: he knows the things he'd like to change about himself. Pick one. Just one. And forget the others for now. Make a list of actions to take to begin. Or give him DR's goals recipe (don't have my copy handy) Goal. what would it look like if it did start to change, etc.
Keep going.
