Great Guide to Talking to Your Partner

Dr. John Gottman had the idea to study how happy and unhappy couples talk to each other, and compare. About 40 years later, we know a LOT. Here’s a DVD I highly recommend to all the couples we work with.

Give Headspace some of your head space

If mindfulness meditation were a drug, it would be selling at record levels. Study after study keeps rolling in about its effectiveness in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD… But we’ve never seen a truly approachable, online tool for people who are ready to try it. That changed with Headspace.com, created by the entirely charming Andy Puddicome, a bald British ordained Buddhist monk and circus performer. Starting with brief, 10-minute videos and audio guides, he’s made meditating both inviting and readily understandable. 5 stars to this excellent program – thousands of people are already being helped.
