Psychology and Relationships

psyche1 This section of our website deals with the psyche and psychology, both personal and interpersonal.  How can we maximize our mental potential and become more complete human beings? This includes healthy exploration of our conscious potential as well as our subconscious mind. Our dreams, personality types and archetypes  are subjects for discussion.

How can we relate better to those around us, and handle issues of trust and intimacy? How can we be better partners, spouses and parents? In dealing with relationships, we investigate our connection to others on a conscious and subconscious level, including trans-personal and integral psychology.

We also consider psychological problems, including fear, depression and anxiety. In addition to professional help for these issues, how can we help ourselves? Finally, we consider the quirks and workings of the human mind. How an it sabotage us in our goals, and how can we use our mind to our advantage?

The authors and gurus featured on the side menu all have insight into these various issues. Below is a list of articles and reviews that cover these fascinating topics.

The Soulmate Secret

The Soulmate Secret

The Soulmate Secret by Arielle Ford. As I am coming up on my 28th wedding anniversary, I wasn’t particularly in the market for a book on attracting a soulmate. But I saw this book in the “New” section of the library and thought it would be worth reviewing for the benefit of the many people [...]

Nutureshock

Nutureshock

Nutureshock: New Thinking about Children, by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. I’ve been listening to this one on CD for the last week, and it’s been eye-opening. I already shared a little from the book in my post titled Never Tell Kids They’re Smart.
Basically the book re-examines what we THOUGHT we knew about parenting [...]

Never Tell Kids They’re Smart

Never Tell Kids They’re Smart

I’ve been listening to a new audio book on child psychology, Nurtureshock. I hope to give a full review shortly, but each chapter is absolutely fascinating, and I thought I’d share a few of the insights along the way. Right out of the gate, the book’s research contradicts the established “wisdom” of the last few decades, [...]

Personal Power II

Personal Power II

Personal Power II – Anthony Robbins. As I wrote in my introduction to Anthony Robbins, I never really paid much attention to Robbins because he seemed so faddish – appearing on every TV channel for years. Also, his high-energy style isn’t a very good match for my laid-back personality. But I found a copy of [...]

ZAP – the Zero Aggression Principle

ZAP – the Zero Aggression Principle

Just as a preemptive warning, my political leanings are confused and variable. If there is a perfect political philosophy out there, I haven’t found it yet.  There is a difficult balance to be struck between compassion and strength – between freedom and safety. That said, I do have strong predilections for the so-called Zero-Aggression-Principle (ZAP) [...]

Romance vs Love

Romance vs Love

I was listening to a Tony Robbins CD in the care and something he said struck me as being a little off. He was speaking of relationships, and how we begin by being intensely “in love”, full of enthusiasm for each other, and then eventually the enthusiasm wears off and things wind down to a [...]

The Trap of Guilt

The Trap of Guilt

Many people who strive to live by a moral code assume that guilt is a good thing – a help to let us know when we have gone wrong. They believe that without guilt, we would easily fall into moral chaos, both as individuals and as society. Catholics in particular tend to focus on guilt [...]

Happy At Last

Happy At Last

Happy At Last – The Thinking Persons Guide to Finding Joy, by Richard O’Connor. I found this one in the “New” section of the library, but I was busy so I brought it home for my daughter to pre-review for me (the entry in the encyclopedia for “thinking person” has my daughter’s picture next to [...]

Finding the Quiet

Finding the Quiet

For a long time, I’ve been on the lookout for a really good book to recommend to a beginner wishing to learn meditation. This is that book. Finding the Quiet by Paul Wilson is a perfect introduction to meditation practices.
There are a lot of good books available (several that I own by Wayne Dyer) [...]

Being In Balance

Being In Balance

Being In Balance: 9 Principles for Creating Habits to Match Your Desires is one of the latest books by Wayne Dyer. I’ve been listening to this book in my car for the last week. Wayne Dyer is always wonderful to listen to, and I think everyone should have a dose of Dyer every day to [...]
