Do you want to be happy? Of course you do... Who doesn't, right? Next question... Why do you want to be happy? Think about it... What is it about happiness that is so alluring? Years of research in positive psychology show that happy people experience a lot of benefit. Here's a list from Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky's book, The How of Happiness... [read more]

Are you ready to find out what separates successful from unsuccessful people? Before I divulge the secret, consider this scenario...

Two people are working for a company where they have to make dreadful cold calls. They receive the same sales training. They're selling the same product. One person wallows, complains, and procrastinates getting it done. The other just does it.

Obviously the more shots you take, the more likely you are to get one in.
One succeeds... one doesn't... [read more]

I put myself on my first diet when I was 12 years old. I was never terribly overweight, just a little chubby. But I was far from the unrealistic ideals I observed in magazines and on television. In my mind I was not attractive enough. I could not be happy until I achieved my ideal body type. For years I tried everything from Atkins, appetite suppressants, laxatives, Weight Watchers, exercise (without much consistency), timed meals, portion control and eating nothing but cabbage soup, down to the more extreme… bulimia...

Something happens to many people when they hit adulthood. Life becomes serious. It loses that lightness and freedom it had during childhood. It is a choice (conscious or unconscious) that adults make based on how they interpret what happens to them and the actions they take. Laughter is a powerful way to bring that lightness of being back into one’s life... [read more]

A tall man stands in front of the room holding up a half a human cranium (which eerily resembles the bowl from which I ate my Thai food the night before). This Tibetan Skull Cup is used in Tantric Buddhist rituals to symbolize impermanence and a quest for an empty mind. This symbol sets the tone for the evening’s lecture.

Dr. Barbara Fredrickson and Sharon Salzberg share the stage at the Rubin Museum in New York City as part of their Brainwave Series exploring the intersection of mind and matter. Psychologist and meditation teacher together discuss the Western science of Eastern practices of meditation... [read more]

Human beings are creatures of habit. We look for patterns, routines and shortcuts to maximize our expended energy. The need for speed also leads to increased desire for immediate gratification. In an age of e-mail, on-line shopping and text-messaging it is easy to get sucked into wanting things to happen quickly, and if they don’t, it’s easy to give up... [read more]

“Loving, selective, enduring attachment… scientists find such love difficult to talk about,” says Dr. George Vaillant, renown psychiatrist and author.  Love as noun is hard to measure. Love as a verb or an action is more tangible. Consider taking a date where your loving activity capitalizes on research from positive psychology... [read more]

Ever fantasize about duplicating yourself? Like when you want to go to your kid’s little league game and be at an important business meeting at the same time? Imagine a world where there is not one, not two, but trillions of you! (Yes, that would require lots of retirement condos in Florida.) Welcome to your body!... [read more]

What if research were to show that people can effect enormous positive changes in their lives and in the lives of others using a tool they have with them at all times – their smiles? Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”... [read more]

Have you ever been so nervous that you made your stomach churn?  Or so excited about something that you could hardly sit still?  How about worried and wound up sick over it?

These phenomena refer to the psychosomatic principle, that is, the mind’s ability to have physiological effects on the body. There may have been no physical reason for you not sitting still. Electrodes were likely not stimulating your muscles forcing you to be antsy. Your thoughts caused your experience... [read more]

In the early days, psychology was mainly about research. They wanted to understand how reflexes worked (touch a hot stove... Ouch! Move your hand away), perception worked (I see an old lady... now I see a princess...) and how behavior worked (dog sees food... it salivates). When psychology started it had 3 aims: treat and cure mental illness, support 'creative genius' or prodigies which back then may have been mistaken for mental illness, and help every day people live better lives...

What do you do when bad things happen to you? More importantly, how do you explain why that bad thing has happened to you? Do you tell yourself that bad thing happened because you have rotten luck? Or that it's all your fault and you never get things right? ... [read more]

Ever been on a fad diet where you lost weight real quick and then gain it back even quicker? That is what happens when the approach is devoid of substance and is not grounded to reality. The same happens with happiness. Many things might bring you temporary joy or positive emotions but after a while you return to baseline or lower. Just over a decade ago, a new field immerged addressing this very issue... [read more]

Gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to increase your health and life-satisfaction.

Let's start of with what happens when you are in a crappy mood. The good 'ol adage, "When it rains it pours," holds true. You wake up and the day gets off to a bad start, you fight with your family and running late to work. Then you unexpectedly hit traffic which thoroughly pisses you off. Then the guy next to you nearly smashes into your car when he's trying to change lanes. You turn on the news and hear about the negative and violent events going on, which makes you even more upset... [read more]

If you spend an extended period of time at the computer (who doesn't right?!), I highly recommend this ball chair.  It makes sitting upright with proper spine alignment comfortable.  This keeps you more alert while working and also prevents you from hip joint and lower back pain or injury that can happen after sitting in a regular chair for a long time.
