In their book, “Hope in the Age of Anxiety,” psychology professors Anthony Scioli and Henry Biller discuss hope from a variety of different perspectives, combining psychology with philosophy, biology, anthropology as well as the literary classics. I went straight to chapter thirteen, of course, and read “Overcoming Hopelessness: Escape from Darkness.” The authors argue that there are nine forms of hopelessness, each related to the disruption of one or more of the basic needs that comprise hope; attachment, mastery, or survival. The authors present three “pure forms” of hopelessness ...

There are “MS Societies” all over the world and, even here in America, each chapter runs things a little differently. Of course I know that not everyone has the same relationship with their chapter of the society.  I also have come to the understanding that some are vehemently opposed to these organizations. As I reviewed comments on the web about CCSVI I was taken aback to read that some of you were even calling for “war” against organizations (NMSS being one) who were conspiring to “keep us sick.” I do not think that this is a pervasive attitude but I thought it was time to check in on this topic. I’m not a member who thinks these societies are above reproach...

So he and Harmony Books graciously gave me permission to reprint parts of chapter seven on “Attention.” Here, then, is the step-by-step approach to mindfulness or meditation — the basic practices of quieting the mind — provided in “Joyful Wisdom”: Step One: Objectless Attention The most basic approach to attention is referred to as “objectless”–not focusing on any specific “scene” or aspect of experience, but just looking and marveling a...

Proponents of cramdown claimed that the bankruptcy code favored one’s vacation home or yacht over one’s primary residence, as the mortgages on these assets could be reduced to reflect their current value.  Such a claim is at best misleading, if not outright false.  One&#...

Even though the first votes were cast just a couple of weeks ago, the campaigning has gone on now for months (and there are many months to go before it’s over) and that’s just for the primaries! I am something of a political animal; I’ll admit to that. But I try to only bring up politics to this forum when it comes to specific issues. I have my political views, you have yours; no need mucking up the waters of our relationship with the “who to vote for” conversation. I bring this issue to the community today, simply because I was not the one to bring it up. The subject of this posting brought this up herself – so, fair game. In a speech this week, one which seemed to be headed tow... Life with MS blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1179325 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:55:44 +0100 1179325
