Trees And Stones Will Teach You That Which You Can Never Learn From Masters

I like old masters, I like the way they have guided me through life, educating me through their words just as my family, friends, and teachers have done. One more of them, along with da Vinci, is in the back of my head as I write these words, and it's St. Bernard, who said that "you will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters". What is the moral of that for education?

In Sickness And In Power: An Amazing Study By David Owen

Besides the good politicians who have worked in favor of humanity, history has also been shaped by malicious political actors. These leaders have often created their own ideologies to justify the logic of their policies. These leaders are often labeled as sick. David Owen, professor of social and political philosophy at the University of Southampton, was particulary interested in the following topic: how is illness (mainly mental illness) connected to the positions that confer authority and power? What is the nature of this relationship? Owen's book offers some interesting research into this; it is called In Sickness and in Power: Illness in Heads of Government during the Last 100 Years.

How to find hapiness

Dr Loren Toussaint’s Simple Way To Happiness – Part One

The very purpose of life itself is peace and happiness. While our upbringing may have a lot to do with the way we react to situations and people, bringing about that change in ourselves is not as difficult as it sounds. Either we go on emulating the previous generations or decide to be what and who we were born to be. That is, change ourselves into being ourselves. It would probably be quite apt to say, either we forgive, move forward and follow the path to better health and prosperity or use the choice of being resentful and hold grudges and keep on running in place. We discuss this and more with Professor Loren Toussaint.
