  • Dr. Doug Garland Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS)

    Dr. Doug Garland practiced orthopedic surgery in Southern California for 37 years. He is a Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Southern California and published more than 110 peer-reviewed scientific articles. After experiencing the tall poppy syndrome (TPS) firsthand, Dr. Garland began a 10-year journey researching TPS. This exploration began in Ancient Greece, where the syndrome was first described, to modern times and involved various countries, customs, and cultures. Specific emphasis was directed towards Australia, where TPS is a cultural pastime. To his surprise, it was recognized everywhere in one form or another except in America. After studying America's emotional-cultural behavior, Dr. Garland concluded that TPS was prominent in America, perhaps more so than in any other country, but it is unrecognized. Emotional behaviors of the cutter and cutter were identified. The result was the definitive tome, "The Tall Poppy Syndrome - The Joy of Cutting Others Down," with more than 600 citations, which is available on Amazon.

    Bio:

    I’m an award winning author, christian mystic and reiki level II healer and former executive in the high tech industy. I've written two memoirs on how my life changed when I turned my daily to-do list over to my higher power ( God/Spirit/Source.)

    When I was in my 40’s, I was a single mother of eight children, their sole financial support, working as an executive in the high tech industry, and also had returned to university to finish my last year of work on a bachelor’s degree. I was a compulsive list maker who never came close to accomplishing all I needed to accomplish, often waking in a panic about all that needed to be done that I wasn’t doing. My life completely changed when I began taking my to-do list to God /Spirit/Inner voice each day and asking what I should be doing. I stopped waking in a panic, got more done, more sleep and less stress. And found my true purpose.

    I was just trying to get through each day but instead I got the most unexpected, wonderful life of purpose and meaning that I never even knew was possible.

    I approach this from a Christian viewpoint in a spiritual rather than religious way. I’m a Christian mystic, Reiki Level II healer, and have a daily practice of contemplative prayer, an ancient Christian meditative practice having a revival today.

    I wrote the books in hopes that others would be inspired to take the same path. Many do, which brings great satisfaction.

        When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later, the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.
