So the New Year is slowly approaching and so many people are starting to do what we call “get themselves together”. I am one of them. I desire to enter into another year of my life more examined, moral, in tune to God, nature, and others. I pray my acts line with the wish.
While surfing the internets today, I came across an awesome website called BigThink.com. There are a whole bunch of intellectual treasures on the site; scholars, comedians, philosophers sharing their responses about human topics. Since I am striving to be more spiritual, happier, and laugh more in the years to come, I quickly dove into 3 videos that give a wonderful perspective about all three. Hope you enjoy them as well.
They are short ones from religion historian Karen Armstong, Princeton Psychology lecturer Tal Ben Shahar, and The New Yorker Cartoonist Robert Mankoff.
