A couple of weeks ago I got to see His Holiness the Dalai Lama speak at a local college. He wore his traditional maroon and gold robes, along with a bright purple visor from the college to shield his eyes from the harsh stage lighting. He was funny, mostly because he laughs at himself. He [...]
Stress is our favorite antagonist. We like to blame it for cancer and chronic illness. We complain that it tears apart our marriages and our friendships, undermines our productivity, and quite literally keeps us awake at night. We stress about how much stress we are under.
