Why I do anger management
In one sense, this post is a digression on my current theme of visioning a mature society. But it also gets to the heart of the matter of how we are to get to this vision. For me, anger is the canary in the coal mine, and it has movement. First, what a blog offers…

Read the fine print!
I am so tired of the duplicity of our culture! A colleague Paul Ray sends me lots of information about climate change issues, for which I am very grateful — not only are they usually pertinent, but he often highlights the significant components in the emails he sends. Such is the case here, referring to…

Where are we going? Some thoughts on Brexit.
My major interest in this blog is the emotional maturing of our culture. As such, I recognize that our civilization is very unstable — the recent Brexit events have made this clear; the ramifications of this choice by the people of Britain may reverberate for years to come, and likely will have an impact on…

What Limits Me? (Part 3 of 3: What do others want?)
The third major issue I have is that I do not know what other people want. I was a therapist for 25 years, specialized in anger management. Over my career, I worked with more than 4000 people; many people told me that their lives changed as a result of working with me, sometimes in as…

What Limits Me? (Part 2 of 3: What can one person do?)
The second limitation that I struggle with (see my previous post for the first) is the question of: What can one (more) person (me) do? We live in a very complex world that, in the space of my lifetime, has become a global village. As I look around, I am aware that large numbers of…

What Limits Me (Part 1 of 3)
Hi to all. A question to you, the reader. What limits you in your ability to make changes in your life, or your world? I want to take the next few postings to explore what I am attempting to do here, with these postings. I strongly believe that we need a more mature culture (an…

Gamification
These posts are likely to be quite random in their content, at least for a while. I read a lot, and am often reactive to the content, especially when the content illustrates what I consider the insanity of our culture. Here is what I came across this morning: gamification, the latest gimmickry to sell you…

Sometimes I hate technology
I awoke in the middle of last night with the thought that I hate technology, and to a certain extent that is true. In my recent attempts to take my work to a broader domain, I recognize how much I am hidden behind layers and layers of equipment that I do not easily understand. Not…

Welcome #2
Hi. I am re-evaluating how I use this blog, and have decided to resume it in a variety of ways. I stopped posting (in every way) about two years ago, largely because I did not have a focus in my life as to how to proceed. However, I have remained deeply concerned about the issues of climate change,…

What Are The Rules That Run You?
I frequently look around at my culture and wonder how have we gotten to this point of insanity. We are on the brink of collapse as a civilization, if not as a species, and yet there is so little surface evidence of this. When I dig, there is lots of evidence. Two recent emails posts…
