by Dr. Laura Markham Britain's Channel 4 is under attack for its latest reality show. This one subjects newborns to a variety of childrearing methods, including some I think are barbaric. A recent episode of Bringing Up Baby with Claire Verity, a celebrity nanny who calls herself a maternity nurse but whose only qualification seems to be sleeping with Mick Jagger when she was supposed to be caring for his child, provoked... 10/31/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Timothy Sharp Two separate incidents lead to the thoughts behind this happiness blog posting. One, involved a woman who lives nearby my house who gets around with the help of a guide-dog. The other, was yet another thought provoking tip from Lou Tice at the Pacific Institute. Anyway, all that's really relevant here in this happiness context is the following question...to whom do you look for guidance when it comes... 10/31/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Beth Rosenshein I have a different view of menopause than most. I see it not as a transition to be embraced but as a medical problem that causes a lot of ill health, and I see medical treatment as the solution to that problem. I am not talking about the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) that was given to women in the Women's Health Initiative, because, from a scientific standpoint it wasn't HRT. Premarin is neither... 10/31/2007 7:00:00 AM
by EdgeUtainment Have you ever looked to the sky and asked yourself…why is this happening to me or why am I not more successful? It’s safe to say most people have. Well, today is the day you’re going to get your answer; except the answer is not going to come from above…it’s going to come from within. I’m sure many of us have also said things like: I’m a good person, I’m a hard worker, I’m nice to people, I’m committed... 10/30/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Laura Markham Many parents, in an effort to give their baby the best head start in life, purchase educational DVDs such as Brainy Baby and Baby Einstein. Although the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should not watch television until two years of age, countless parents rationalize contradicting this standard pediatric advice, seduced by the promise of a smarter child, or maybe at least by... 10/29/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Diana Lang The breath is a cycle.Inhale . . . exhale. It is like a little life. A little experience. The breath teaches us about cycles. It teaches us that if we inhale, we must exhale. That something has a beginning and an end. It teaches us that life goes on, even after we exhale, another breath will be taken. Every day, every moment, we are breathing. We don't have to remember to breathe, it happens automatically... 10/29/2007 7:00:00 AM

by Diana Lang I was at the local grocery store today and noticed they were playing Christmas carols. Not every song, but mixed in. It kind of snuck up on me as I found myself humming along to "White Christmas." I'm thinking to myself, it's not even Halloween yet. All of nature is winding down around us and we are speeding up. The leaves are falling from the trees, fruits and flowers are waning, while we are racing... 10/22/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Mary Kay Morgan, MS CPT Are you challenged to find the time to exercise? Who isn't these days! But if a strong, lean, healthy body is valuable to you, then exercise is a must. Most days I don't have much more than 30 to 40 minutes that I can spare for my exercise, sometimes less, and I want the time I spend to bring results. The secret to twice the results in half the time is grounded intention. When I had a private personal... 10/22/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Timothy Sharp I'm often asked this simple but profound question or struck by the believe held by many that the answer to this question should be yes. In reality, the answer to this question is yes, if you're extremly lucky but no, if you're like most people. That is, for some people happiness does come naturally and easily in the same way that for some people, other skills or abilities (such as athletics and sports,... 10/21/2007 7:00:00 AM
