How timely my post yesterday on Emotional Mastery? There was an article in the NY Times Magazine yesterday about how the field of 'positive psychology' is becoming a big thing on real college campuses and is now being studied for validity by psychologists.It's a great story on the 'power of positive thinking,' a philosophy which has been around for decades and maybe even centuries, although Norman Vincent Peale started that phrase, I guess. Anyway, here's the link to the article for anyone interested:NY Times Magazine - "Happiness 101" HAPPY READING! ENJOY! … (6 comments)
