FIRES AND LAWSUITS AND BEARS - Stess and the Breath
by Diana Lang
About Me View My Posts
Recently here in Los Angeles, our beautiful mountains from Topanga to Big Bear were on fire. Raging wildfires tore through the sage and the wild sumac that go up like firecrackers from this long drought we've been in. I watched from a half mile away as great, chugging helicopters filled to the brim, dumped their loads of ocean water on burning, smoking hillsides. I watched in awe as these great flying... 11/5/2007 8:00:00 AM

Happiness By Elimination
by Dr. Timothy Sharp
About Me View My Posts
Lately I've been thinking and talking to others a lot about my new concept - happiness by elimination. You see I frequently receive positive feedback about the ideas I promote via The Happiness Institute but if there's one "negative" comment I/we get its that people think they don't have time to implement the principles of positive psychology we recommend. Its not that people don't think they'll work... 11/5/2007 8:00:00 AM

My daughter went to a party on the weekend that primarily involved ice skating. Now a few of the girls were, apparently, quite competent but most, including my daughter, had tried skating a few times and knew what they were doing but were by no means expert!

In order to do that they have to know what they are treating and have... 11/4/2007 7:00:00 AM

Preventative versus Reactive Medicine
by Geoffrey Miller
About Me View My Posts
Abstract This blog will provide a reflection of why the government at all levels (Federal, State and Local) has a reluctance in developing a prevention based model within the healthcare system. Wellness.com: Blog The government will always be reluctant to change when there is not a proven method of positive monetary gain, savings or a combination of the two. We now live in a nation where people are... 11/3/2007 7:00:00 AM

Studies with animals implicate oxytocin in the bonding process -- those with low oxytocin exhibit slower pup retrieval and less licking and grooming -- but little research has been done with humans. Now a new study in the November issue of Psychological Science suggests that women with higher levels of oxytocin during their first trimester are primed to... 11/1/2007 7:00:00 AM
