A mid-90s highlight reel of my alma mater Lower Merion on their state-title run in basketball, led by Kobe Bryant. If you watch the whole thing, you will be rewarded with an incredible montage song. I turned 25 yesterday. .... This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists. Kings of Convenience, "24-25" from Declaration of Dependence. Last night I finished Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. It's an amazing book. I highly recommend it. At any rate, via the miracle of YouTube, this man's search for videos of Dr. Frankl eventually led me to some interviews with Carl Jung, and from there, logically, Will Smith. The son of West Philadelphia alludes to The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, and speaks about that magical "Universe" business. Sam Harris explains how science can lead us to an objective morality that fosters individual and collective well-being. This talk is absolutely genius. Anyone who knows me knows I love Phish. I could write a novel about how important they've been in my life, but I'll spare you and just say, watch this video, because these guys continue to stand for the fact that if you dream big, work hard, and believe in yourself, anything is possible.
junoday.com has been replaced by TED.com. Welcome. Brené Brown shares with us the power of embracing vulnerability, which leads to "WholeHearted" living. TED obsession continues...this talk is so awesome. William Ury is the co-author of Getting to Yes, which is a worthwhile read if you're interested in negotiating and conflict resolution. He's also a great speaker. |
