Psychology is religion by another name

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-

Baby Boomers and Smart Brains

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.
