Oct

Seems like a lot of Obituaries to read...

Didn't know that FDR III was the ECON dept at Sarah Lawrence...

read a couple good books:

ONE: life is a process not a product... happiness and meaning and wisdom are feelings that parallel life... life is kind of a flow quantity and happiness/meaning/wisdom are sort of a parallel qualities that we add... kind of an accompanying attitude about life...

TWO: modern man grumbles in five "new" ways... (from Gregg Esaterbrook)
1. Choice Anxiety - we "suffer" from so many wonderful options...
2. Abundance Denial - we complain when we really have "so much"...
3. Loss Anxiety - we worry about losing all the "so much" we have
4. Abundance Satiation - we are uneasy and burdened by having "so much"
5. Meaning Anxiety - we have so much we can't find "meaning" in it all...
