Some of the people that we find problematic have low self-awareness and are just not interested in changing anything about themselves. No matter what  feedback we give them or how we deliver it, they will find it offensive. I have seen a person who is being aggressive get upset because someone is calling them out for being aggressive, or placing a boundary to protect themselves from the aggression. It seems wild while it is happening, but some people are so disconnected from themselves that they are incapable of seeing fault in their behavior.

Anthony Boucher Anthony Boucher known as was the pen name of William Anthony Parker White and he was known at Tony. He was born in 1911 in Oakland California and died aged only 56 in Oakland of lung cancer. I guess he liked it there. He graduated from Pasadena High in 1928 and went to the University of Southern California and did his masters at University of California, Berkely. Boucher is to rhyme with Voucher rather than the French bouche.

Hi friends, It’s time for part two of the mini-series on heroes! Last time, I covered classic heroes. Today I’m covering Everyman Heroes, which are personally my favorite kind of hero. They’ve always existed, but I would bet that if we could crunch the numbers on it, we would see that number of everyman heroes who serve as the main protagonist has probably skyrocketed in the last seventy-five years.

Grateful for where I’m at. Excited for where I’m going. Share Hi everyone, I hope your Wednesday is off to a great start! I’ve been momming hard this last week and I can’t wait for the weekend. Let’s get into it! The new episode of Barely Filtered is out now! We had to do a part two to last week’s episode because there has been some new information that has unfolded since we went into detail about how *great* Aurora’s new boyfriend was… Just wait.

The oracle of Trophonius was, as Philostratus notes, “the only oracle which gives responses through the person himself who consults it.” At all the others of Greece — Delphi, Dodona, Corinth — the visitor would address his questions to a priestess, who would then consult the god on his behalf and deliver its response. Not so Trophonius, which requires a by all accounts harrowing descent into the underworld that might last for days.

Acupuncture. (link) Phenylephrine. (link) Multivitamins. (link) Phosphoric acid. (for nausea; link) Tree-based knowledge organization. The physical world whispers to us to organize information into “trees”. For example, say you write something on a piece of paper, put the paper into a binder, put the binder into a box, put the box into a closet: OK. But on my computer, I have some folders that look sort of like this:

Of all beaches in southern Europe I’ve been to, Spiaggia La Pelosa in Sardinia, Italy, is probably one of the most spectacular ones. With its white sand and endless shades of blue reaching until the horizon, this beach is a real gem that should be on every beach lover’s bucket list! Here are some tips for first time visitors, and some great alternatives to La Pelosa beach if you want to skip the crowds (or you missed your chance to book).

Set boundaries, Find Peace is a little over two years old and it is still wildly popular. A few months ago a woman sent me a message and said, “You need to start telling people how to be kind when they set boundaries.” I asked her what she meant and she said, “I loved your book so much I bought a copy for my daughter-in-law, but after she read it she asked me to call before I come over to her house.

This year, I’m going to be married to Cate Hall. Early on in our relationship, I told her that she was a really inspiring person, and that I would keep her in my life indefinitely whether or not we ended up together. I was not just flattering her: I have never met anyone like Cate. She is truly unusual. Someday, her biography will be available at fine bookstores everywhere. Given that it is not yet available, however, I wanted to tell you some things I’ve learned from being around Cate day-to-day.
