The main theme shared by Analytical Psychology and Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ is a search for meaning … in a meaningless world. I know that some would argue that Jung did find meaning in the world. I would argue that the entire body of Jung’s work is an attempt

I checked Dido’s website today just to make sure she was actually human. If I didn’t know better I would have guessed that an angel had fallen from heaven, signed with a record label, and began singing. The only word I can find for her voice is angelic.
A friend of mine recently recounted a story at her work that sums up Unspoken Business Rule #4 very well: never question anything. She works at a large format printing company. They do things like bus banners and big signs for trade shows. Stuff like that. So, their biggest expenses
In the middle of just about every conference room where budget decisions are made sits a big, fat elephant. People sometimes glance at it or whisper to their peers about it but it gets little airtime. The elephant is named, “Use It Or Lose It.” This is an unspoken business

I went to Pacifica’s open house. The place was magical, and I knew that’s where I wanted to go to graduate school. I slept on campus the first night and woke up early the following day.

Week one – it’s almost over. After hearing the client call me the overall project manager for their enterprise-wide data warehousing project … I threw up all over her. Well, not really, but I felt like it. Even after the weekend chewing all the nutmeg I could get my hands on

In humanity’s history, we find the deepest lessons to learn. In 1816, the French frigate “Medusa” shipwrecked near Morocco. The remains of the ship served as the only raft that maintained 149 people without direction for more than 27 days. The dramatic experience impelled a painter to carry out

This is a very interesting topic and I find myself wondering exactly where Campbell’s ultimate passions were. The first image that is called to mind is Campbell’s rather amazing recounting of a story he read in a Hawaiian newspaper (source: Power of Myth). It was about a guy

Bergson was actually one of the few philosophers in history to take up the difficult task of analyzing what makes us laugh. Ironically, his findings are rather dry and philosophical but he does give his
