these last few months have been a series of conflicts, i guess they been hanging around the edges of my life and encroaching in my territory, invading my space. anyways i have discovered that its best to confront them, this should not be done lightly, much thought needs to be given to right action, becuase its no good being angry or confrontational, its always good to meet the issues head on. this morning i was in a meeeting with my boss and the rest of the core team, and we were able to say to her how we felt, it was really good, she was reasonable and the meeting never got out of hand, we all got a good outcome. off orse not all meetings can be like this, some get very confrontational and quite agggressive.
anyways martin my brother, is in the city, he stayed in Manly and woke up with a hang over at his friends house. He loves the flat he will be living in, its ocean veiws and along the esplinade in manly central.

i been planning my trip to adilaide, thinking about what to take meredith bubbles, and what reading material i need to take.

I'm reading an intresting book called, The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt, very intresting how he blends ancient wisdom through the ages and tests the science of them to see if they can make us happy, he offers a simple map of the mind at the biginning, showing the divided selves,
MIND VS BODY
LEFT VS RIGHT
NEW VS OLD
CONTROLLED VS AUTOMATIC

He goes on to look at the way our minds determine our reality, delving into the science of the brain, its chemical responses to flight or fight, the ideaswe are predisposed towards being pessimistic, that genes play a major part in our brains perception and personality, and that there are three proven ways to change our minds,
MEDITATION
COGNATIVE THERAPY
PROZAC

Next he starts to looking at society and how we live in them,
YOU SRATCH MY BACK I'LL SCRATCH YOUR'S
YOU STAB HIS BACK, I'LL STAB YOURS
USE THE FORCE

Anyways i'm enjoying the reading, although as as a practical manual its nowhere near as good at Leary's model of conciousness, or RAWs.
