THE NATURAL HUMAN

If I asked you to describe a squirrel in its natural state, no doubt you could do it. Yet can you describe the natural state of yourself (humans)? Wouldn’t it be fascinating to get a group of humans from every corner of the world, and hear their answers to this question? You might say “Squirrels […]

MILLENNIALS and GEN-X’ers: THEY DESERVE OUR SUPPORT

Where did we get the idea that millennials, gen-Xers, etc. were somehow deficient, basically unprepared. I’d like to suggest a different approach. Millennials are our future. It is our job and obligation to hand them a world that is as good or better than the one handed us. If millennials lack tools or training, is […]

MILLENNIALS IN THE NEW MILLENNIA: PART 2

CHANGE IS COMING The 2100’s cannot be a continuation of the 2000’s Millennials are not lost or struggling, not second-class people or citizens. They are a generation caught in the hallway of transition, change. We (all of us) need to support them as they navigate this difficult transition. When the way forward becomes clear, no […]

MILLENNIALS IN THE NEW MILLENIA: PART 1

NAVIGATING AMERICA: A Roadmap for Millennials Have you ever had this feeling? “I live in a country – someone else created it – many along the way have prospered and enjoyed it – now I come along, and I’m not sure if there are opportunities for me. Instead of opportunities, all we hear about is […]

RELATIONSHIPS AND HONESTY

If you think relationships are hard, try honesty. Not cash-register honesty, but … the truth. And what IS the truth? I wish I knew.

HATE: FEAR, ANGER, ANXIETY, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH

Why would anyone live their life based on hate? Do you know anyone who is always angry? Observing that, is that the life you want? Hate and anger lead to poor health. Frustration and anxiety render human happiness impossible. Yet how do we overcome this negativity, so that lives of happiness are possible? Each […]

DONATING YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY

We work hard and sacrifice for the money we make. This is true of everyone, all 7 billion of us. We should take home about 90% of the money we make – sadly that figure for most is closer to 50%. Talk about brainwashing – we focus on our gross income (for instance, “I make […]

ADDICTION AND THE HUMAN MIND

We humans are pretty smart – right? We consider ourselves the most intelligent of all living species, currently living and extinct. We have even designated ourselves as sub-species homo sapiens sapiens, which means intelligent, intelligent species homo. Our ancestors created tools, weapons, art. Modern humans have excelled in medicine, science and technology, and have even […]

WORLD PEACE

Is World Peace possible? Of course it is. Anything is possible if we want it enough. But why aren’t we living in peace now. After all, we are the “intelligent” species, supposedly at the top of the food chain. So why are we hating, killing, destroying? The reason is that modern humans are not living […]
