Talking about Mind , body and spirit!

Stan explores lots of the narratives that make us crazy and lacking in basic coping skills. What does that really mean?

Are you wondering why almost all of our institutions do not work, things never get done properly and why it appears that the inmates are running the madhouse? It may be that huge numbers of people stay happily in states of denial, or feel forced into using this defense mechanism. It's price on our functioning is devastating. Take a listen how this happens.

Check out a new series of Just Thinking Episodes. Today's newest episode has to do with the concept of the "Exhausted Majority" in our country. Americans of all ages are dealing with so many unhinged issues all at once, day after day..that the majority of average people (the majority) are simply burnt out and exhausted. See if you agree!!

This is a great show and one you will really want to listen to. It is spot on and has a very different perspective on Trumps behavior which is staring American's right in the face. There is nothing scary, nothing difficult to interpret. Take a listen and see what you think.

Take a listen to a show that reminds us, that there are still laws, huge numbers of decent folks and lots of power to enforce and expect reasonable behavior from fringe people acting in criminal and intimidating ways. Intimidating voters, voter suppression, law breaking, open carry abuses, rioting, forcing events to be cancelled are all wrong, no matter who is doing it! We need to start setting firm limits on lawlessness and criminality, whether it is looting, threatening others with guns and such or illegal civil rights violations. It is time for the adults to start acting like adults. There is no reason why the inmates are running the asylum folks. Take a listen.

You may wish to seriously listen to today's show on "herd immunity", and see why the current head of the NIH reminds people that this is "NOT" an acceptable strategy for a pandemic, but rather a "fringe" theory for application as a national policy.

It is important to know as we question why he behaves so erratically and self centered. Take a listen, see if you agree:)
