Free Yourself From Cognitive Dissonance. ~ Shielagh Shusta-Hochberg, Ph.D. via elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2012 The Empathic Heart. One of the most dangerous threats to human well-being is a conflict between our values and our way of life.

Self-Help is Bullsht. ~ Deborah Williamson via elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2012 Yes, I said it. Bullsht. Why?
