Allan Hamilton, Zen Mind, Zen Horse: The Science and Spirituality of Working with Horses

Mindful work with horses, says neurosurgeon Allan Hamilton, can enlighten the human handler. The horse has finely honed abilities to lead, communicate, and connect not with words, but with the vital emotional energy described in the Buddhist tradition as chi. When we learn the language of chi, we become more effective as leaders, more attuned to others, and more joyful as human beings. Drawing from spiritual traditions such as Zen, Ayurveda, and Yaqui shamanism, and from the great horse cultures of the Mongolians, Bedouins, and Native Americans, Dr. Hamilton shares ways to develop right-brain awareness and quiet the left-brain dominance of our Western brains.

David Patten, Dummy, awakening from autism

A child in the 1950s, David Patten was labeled retarded, lazy, stupid; a dummy. Isolated by an autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia, David slipped into the dark underbelly of American life, spending time in a mental institution, a violent inner-city school for troubled youth, and an experimental home for schizophrenics. David and Maryanne talk about his remarkable journey from brokenness to a truly successful, awakened life...an inspiring vision of our human potential. David says, "As it turns out, my true happiness is proportional to my yielding to the brokenness, not to my refusing to accept it or to my struggling to overcome it.”

Clay Johnson, The Information Diet: A Case for Conscious Consumption

We're wired to consume information as well as sugar, and our sweet tooth is killing us! According to the New York Times, the over-consumption of information negatively impacts us all and is “particularly powerful for young people. The risk is that developing brains can become more easily habituated than adult brains to constantly switching tasks — and less able to sustain attention.”

Healthy information consumption habits are about more than productivity and efficiency. They're about your personal health, and the health of society. Just as junk food can lead to obesity, junk information can lead to new forms of ignorance. Clay Johnson tells us how to find out only the information we really need, and how to relax into healthy, balanced knowing.

Prof. Dario Maestripieri, Games Primates Play

Join Prof. Dario Maestripieri on his Undercover Investigation of the Evolution and Economics of Human Relationships. We can learn to overcome our hardwiring as primates. He illustrates how evolutionary and comparative studies, along with economic cost-benefit analyses of behavior, can explain why people behave the way they do in everyday social situations and in the negotiation of their personal and business relationships. Understanding this, you can act with more awareness, kindness, and create real and loving relationships.

David Bedrick, Talking Back to Dr. Phil's Pop Psychology

Are you feeling that popular psychology leaves you ashamed about how ugly you are in whatever way, and ineffective at following their advice on how to change? You've tried dieting (or to overcome your anxiety or depression, or bad marriage) and still end up in the same place.

Counselor, educator, and attorney David Bedrick says there is a better way, one guided by love and deeper spiritual meaning, rather than the unconscious bias of a culture prone to normalization. Using America’s most popular therapist as a barometer of our age, Bedrick shines a light on the path of loving kindness that helps us let go of the shame we carry and learn how to treasure those things we least accept about ourselves. Move past quick-fix, pop-culture answers to psychological wounds to deep, emotional healing for you, and all of us.
