Minute to Freedom #5: Approval Seeking
Today let’s talk about approval seeking. Have you ever felt like everybody had to be OK with anything you did?
The Power Of One
Every time there is an election my work colleagues complain that they have to vote (voting being compulsory in Australia). “What’s the point of me voting? My vote is not going to make a difference.” Then my mother’s voice goes off in my head “Suffragettes made so many sacrifices so we can vote.” Visions of […]
Can I Get A Whoop Whoop?
The Whooping Crane was, and is, one of the most endangered birds in North America. Though probably never abundant, the population reached a staggering low of about 15 birds in 1941 due to hunting and habitat loss/degradation.

Happiness: Reminder Notes from the Road
I slouched into my seat, exhausted and disappointed with myself. I’d said goodbye to my girlfriends and was on an early train home instead of topping off the weekend with the conference’s closing party. This had not been a work conference; this was Blissdom – so why wasn’t I feeling blissful? I’d planned to attend it […]
