Psychology is religion by another name

posted on Thu, 08 May 2008 19:28:26 -0700

Psychology is religion by another name May 9th, 2008 I’ve started reading Buddhism for Busy People and I am struck by how similar many of the principles are to modern-day Cognitive Behavioural Therapy principles. Or perhaps I should say that CBT is very similar to Buddhist practice, given that Buddhism is two and a half millennia old and CBT was developed in the 1960s. I’ve been doing some CBT for a little while now, just as method of clarifying how I think about things, approach the worl

More Important Stuff School Doesn’t Teach 5 05 2008 So the same “preemptive” do-it-yourself rules apply to learning philanthropy, then, that apply to everything else? School is not just unnecessary but obstructionist to education, if the main goal really is to chart your own best course, to learn how to be happy and productive with in your own life, in your own life: Colleges, hospitals and myriad other charities are applying ways to measure their own effectiveness, including staff-time-to-

Unboxing Our Lizard Brains: Can You At Least Think About It? 5 05 2008 “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. . . .The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system — that anyone can do anything”. . . “That’s a lie that we have perpetuated, and it fosters m

Baby Boomers and Smart Brains

posted on Sat, 03 May 2008 16:48:15 -0700

As a baby-boomer and media psychologist, articles about positive approaches to aging catch my attention. What I love about the baby-boomer generation is that they do tend to go about things with a kind of self-focused all or nothing enthusiasm. According to an article by Katie Hafner “Exercise Your Brain, or Else You’ll…Uh…” there is a surge of anxiety about memory loss among boomers.

Why We Crave Ritual

I didn’t grow up a sport’s fan, have lived in too many places to have anything resembling a hometown team and used to drive a car with a ‘Kill Your Television’ bumper-sticker on it. These are not things scream basketball addict. But every spring, come NBA playoff season, I spend an unreasonable amount of time watching a game I’ve never even played. At a basic level, humans enjoy playing sports because humans enjoy survival. We play fight as kids in case we have to real fight as adults. But
