Learning The Art Of Happiness
New scientific evidence dispels our cultural biases and myths, such as perceiving happiness as a somewhat "soft" or frivolous subject, or considering happiness to be self-centered or self-indulgent.

But in our spectator society, where it's easier to watch reality tv than live our own authentic and vibrant life, small, personal acts are sometimes overlooked and minimized.

Anger, I know it so well. I lived with it for a very long time and have claimed it as a kin of mine. It got my heart rate and blood pressure up, and it got my adrenaline, and noradrenaline up.

Regardless of which side of the religious and socio-political spectrum a child's parent or guardian is on, that child is innocent. Children are not billboards for hatred, malice and lies.

John McCain: In 2000, as a lifelong Republican, I worked to get you elected. In return, you wrote an endorsement of one of my books about military service. You have changed.

The opening dialogue of disFigured moves into a rare plotline that I found shockingly real, touchy, emotional, humorous and hurtful, and introspective for viewers heavy and thin alike.
