‘History’ at Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life

It seems to me that a good life is a mix of these three realms: the sensual enjoyment of the physical, the pleasure of discovering and expressing our uniqueness and the delight we take in what is beyond ourselves.

Our conceptualizations of the situations we find ourselves in can not only place us at a disadvantage, but can literally do us harm.

I’d like to say that it is an essential part of psychotherapy to contribute to making the world a better place.

The experiment is to get in touch with 100 years before and after your birth. Why 100 years? This is the time span that we are fairly directly personally connected to: from our grandparents to our grandchildren, roughly speaking.

I have never in my life felt so relieved and so inspired by the results of an election as I am by the selection of Barack Obama as the next President of the United States. Today, the world is a better place.
