This is a great TED talk that challenges the way we approach life while chasing the "American Dream." The presenter does a brilliant job of articulating how focusing on the process of achieving, instead of the end goal that is desired, results in a very different experience with life. When we focus on the process of our lives we can actually be present and receive fulfillment from the process itself. This perspective is very counter-culture to the American way of achieving through the process of a means to an end.
Dedicated to exploring the elements of society's construction, from the personal to the collective levels. Through the use of a holistic perspective, which includes theories from anthropology and psychology, we will attempt to observe the cultural beliefs that we use to create our world, and often take for granted. The goal here is to identify and study the mechanisms of social change. The intention of this blog is to create a community space for all of us to share our thoughts within.
