Yet here we are, thousands of years later, still hitting the snooze button on our alarms. Here we are, wasting the most productive hours of the day, choosing to reject these moments before the interruptions, before the distractions, before the rest of the world gets up and going too. Passing on the opportunity to gather our flowering potential while it’s freshest, still shining with morning dew.
Discipline Is Destiny
Ryan Holiday
We are courted with a marketing blitz from the institutions themselves, all promising dreams fulfilled, horizons waiting to be discovered, unencumbered bliss. The effect of all this is to raise the college years to a larger-than-life, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will make or break our children’s future. Both parents and students feel the pressure and push to make this myth their reality.
Letting Go
Karen Levin Coburn and Madge Lawrence Treeger
I was ready to give up when Esther suggested that I read Terrence Real’s book I Don’t Want to Talk About It, a groundbreaking treatise on the roots of male depression. Once I started, I could not put it down. It was almost creepy that this guy seemed to be writing about me, despite never having met me. His main thesis is that with women, depression is generally overt, or obvious, but men are socialized to conceal their depression, channeling it inward or into other emotions, such as anger, without ever wanting to discuss it. (Hence the title.) I could relate to the stories that he shared about his patients.
