Book Review: Devotion

In her memoir Devotion, Dani Shapiro describes entering what Jung called the “afternoon of life,” a time to seek answers and meaning. When her son asks her “What is sin?” Dani begins a journey to “do better,” to answer her son’s, and her own, spiritual questions with examined knowledge.Shapiro’s life is ridden with anxiety. The losses in her life have hit unexpectedly, in unpredictable ways, stripping her of the comfort of denial and creating a keen awareness of what might happen at any moment.…See More

The Happiness Factor

In the beginning (hmm that sounds familiar) psychology focused on understanding all emotions, not just those related to pathology. The War changed all that. Scientists needed to address post-traumatic stress disorder, understand how to treat it, in order to help veterans suffering flashbacks and depression from their experiences in battle. Psychologists developed a deep understanding of difficult emotions: anxiety, anger, depression. Little attention was paid to contentment, happiness,…See More

Validation means recognizing that that another person's internal experience is true and has value even if we don't see it the same way.



For example, your husband is grumpy and irritalbe because his favorite football team lost. Saying it's just a game won't bring you closer together. A child screams for candy, saying… Continue

Positive Psychology researchers say one of the strategies for increasing your overall level of happiness is to collect positive memories. The brain tends to naturally remember negative events more than positive ones so some effort is required to register the positive events in your pleasure bank. How to do this? Collect pictures or momentos of the good times and look through them. Savor the experiences when you are having them. Focus on every smell, touch, view, feeling. Tell others about your… Continue

I think the South did rise again...Obama is the first president in [how long?] that hasn't hailed from a Southern or Western state (W was a poser, but he knew that acting like he was from Texas was a smart idea for a politician).
