Happiness Is In Your Head

Here is Dan Gilbert's talk at TED (Technology Entertainment Design) about happiness and our ability to synthesize it (happiness that is) - even in cases where we do not get what we aimed for. 

I'll let you discover this VERY inspirational talk.

Common Sense

"Common sense is that sense which is least common." 

Whoever articulated this statement is pure genius.

Here is a man who is all common sense... enjoy!

I have nothing to add to George Carlin's wisdom. 

The End Of Faith

I finished reading Sam Harris' "The End Of Faith: Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason" while onboard a sea safari on the Red Sea [more on that soon]... 

To say it was a religious experience would be trivializing it... and the reason why it was such an enlightening experience was precisely due to the wonders of the world that this book allowed me to observe - OUTSIDE of religion.

Here is the link to read the first 10 pages ... might just whet your appetite for some more.
