Psychology Philosophy

By letting go of your ego, you will not only feel like a completely different person, but will also empower your life in every way possible. There are many misconceptions about the human ego. Some tie an over-reaching ego to success, arrogance, and other behaviors. Is it that simple? Ego is really the sum of the false ideas that we have about self. These beliefs are formed early in life, reside in the subconscious, and have an incredibly strong influence on our thoughts, actions, and emotions.

The days of teaching people to follow orders like cogs in an industrial machine are over. We must reinvent ourselves as individuals and as a culture. It is no longer possible - or even desirable - to learn one set of job skills and work your way up the ladder. Unfortunately, your current financial habits will tend to stay with you for the rest of your life and keep you stuck in a "barcode" job, unless you decide to make a change.

The Feeling of Teaching is part of a larger project, Teaching through Emotions (TTE), developed by the author, Elizabeth Burris. Throughout the book, listeners are shown the power of emotion work: practicing self-awareness, describing, looking for good reasons, guessing, self-disclosing, listening, and planning. By doing emotion work, teachers can take full advantage of the emotional and relational data their students are constantly providing to shift their teaching and better attune with the learners in their classrooms.

Breaking away from the historically dominant narrative that White females make the best teachers, this book contends that effective teachers can be both "windows" and "mirrors" for students.

A central premise of the book is that such experiences are mind-revealing experiences and that they can be induced by means other than psychedelics.

The future will be shaped not only by technology, but also by the liberation of human potential, much of it locked up in obsolete schooling.

Philosophy is the foundation of all of societies' thoughts, and notions of the famous thinkers percolate out to the masses. Most of philosophy has been detrimental to society because it is not thought through. War is stupid, regardless of how many great thinkers think it good. Poverty is a stupid scourge to our society, regardless of it being regarded as a necessary evil. This is a work of philosophy, but unlike historical philosophies, it does not give excuses for society as it is now, but gives plain and serious vision to how it can be.

What must I do to take away my shame? What must I do if I feel no shame? Before shame can be removed, it must be acknowledged. Shame is an emotional response to being out of sync with the integrity of my conscience. At its root, shame is about the deal I make with evil to get or do what my conscience says I must not have or do. Some say the answer to the problem of shame is to have no rules or laws for which I am to be accountable. But the lawless only change when their consequences affect themselves. The lawless have no empathy with their victims.

The sublime evokes our awe, our terror, and our wonder. Applied first in ancient Greece to the heights of literary expression, in the 18th century the sublime was extended to nature and to the sciences, enterprises that viewed the natural world as a manifestation of God's goodness, power, and wisdom. In The Scientific Sublime, Alan Gross reveals the modern-day sublime in popular science. He tells how the great popular scientists of our time evoke the sublime in response to fundamental questions: How did the universe begin? How did life? How did language?

On another, it is a question about whether suffering has a point or purpose or value.
