Happiness Specialist
Dan's Book
Remember Dan Gilbert I talked about in 'Dan Gilbert Speaks'? I started reading his 'blog' for his book, Stumbling on Happiness. Dan's research and findings have lots of implications on how we can discipline our minds and heighten our awareness of our own thinking processes that will allow us to see our interactions with the world more clearly.
In particular, I thought his article on The Vagaries of Religious Experience actually brings out quite a lot of information about what it means to 'believe' to us.
At times I find it a mere laziness to think further than what we normally do or that we choose to build upon established explanations. I guess his book will be full of these interesting experiments they've conducted and more anecdotes about things going on in people's minds. I'll have to read the book to find out more and after that I'll probably do up a review of it here at ERPZ.
