What Creates Self-Esteem?
by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

Nothing ever stays the same.
by graham and julie

Nothing ever stays the same. On the one hand we despise change yet on the other we don’t want to stagnate and become boring. Yet our habits keep us locked into a course of action day after day, year after year. The way we think, the way we behave, the way we experience things, the way we react to incidents, all are dominated by our habits. They are so strong that most of do not even know what they are. Whatever our habits are they keep us fixed in a particular perspective or behaviour. They stop ...

I Wouldn't Have Given You that Style
by Debbie Friedman

“I wouldn’t have given you that style anyway.” Sitting in a beauty salon chair for the second day in a row, my mouth almost dropped open as the owner began to explain why the person who had cut my hair the day before let me down. I had explained my desires clearly, I thought: I wanted bangs, longer hair (even explaining that I’d let it grow out for two months from the last cut), no top of the ears, and no boy look. I’d brought pictures (three of them!) to show the cut that I’d felt most com ...

Our Brains and Decision-Making: Emotional or Rational?
by Patsi Krakoff

Neuroscientists are now discovering more about the brain and how it processes information and makes decisions. While much remains to be learned, apparently we may not be as rational and in control of our senses as we think we are.

Hidden Riches
by J Square Humboldt

From a historical perspective, 'The DaVinci Code' is good fiction ... I do think the book has provided a very real cultural benefit, though. By weaving many tales of medieval Christian mysticism into its story line, the book has stimulated a multitude of readers to look beyond the veneer of printed words in search of higher meanings. This is good, because both literature and history contain them in abundance. The richness of the written word and the refining effects of time have produced work ...
