Grey Oof! Just saw this now, Siona.... Yeah, flutters I think it was... no, "flaps", but I don't like it much. "Flutter" was the name to replace "Grapevine". Anyway, I just used "tweets" here because it's more readily recognizable. :) (9 months ago)

Learning Out Loud - Brian Johnson Material

adastra said Dec 16, 2006, 10:58 AM:

 

Jason Hughes recently brought to my attention a wealth of great audio and video material available at the website Learning Out Loud .   Of particular interest is the Brian Johnson material - Brian is, of course, the founder of Zaadz and is certainly operating in integral consciousness.

Here is a link to the Learning Out Loud: Free Stuff section.

Please feel free to bring our attention to particularly worthy material in this thread.

Two great pieces from the Learning Out Loud site:


Zaadz Notes: Authentic Happiness
by Brian Johnson
Available on: Digital Download

Martin Seligman is changing the world. As the former President of the American Psychological Association and Founder of the revolutionary “Positive Psychology” movement, he and his colleagues are literally creating a science of happiness.




Zaadz Notes: Learned Optimism
by Brian Johnson
Available on: Digital Download

“I can 'learn' optimism?” Yep, according to psychologist Dr. Martin Seligman, you sure can…and if you believe the research, you probably should! We all know that optimists see the glass as half-full while pessimists see it as half-empty. But, that doesn't come close to doing justice to the importance of optimism and how it affects our lives.

See also the thread I started on Signature Strengths, which is discussed in the first audio clip above.  Together these two audio dialogs are very practical, informative and interesting - I am incorporating these principles into my existential bag of tricks.  :)

NOTE: the links above will take you to the page that has the audio clips - just scan down to find clips 13 and 16; look for this image:
