Living with Just Enough

Abundance is a fact of nature. It is a fundamental law of nature, that there is enough and it is finite. Its finiteness is no threat; it creates a more accurate relationship that commands respect, reverence, and managing those resources with the knowledge that they are precious and in ways that do the most good for the most people.

- Lynne Twist -

Living with Just Enough

"By now we are all extremely familiar with the litany of challenges we face as a global species... We know there will be no easy fixes, no panaceas, but nevertheless as we try to set priorities and search for the most promising ways to approach these problems, many of us find ourselves looking to different cultures and to earlier eras for inspiration. In this regard, the Edo period of Japan has a lot to teach us." Artist and designer Azby Brown offers simple lessons in sustainability from this unique period. { read more }

The Kindness of Strangers...Varies Around the World

If you have not often felt the joy of doing a kind act, you have neglected much, and most of all yourself.

- A. Neilen -

The Kindness of Strangers...Varies Around the World

"Rousseau once wrote that "cities are the sink of the human race." But as my experiences in New York and Rangoon made clear, no two cities are the same. Places, like individuals, have their own personalities. In what cities is a needy stranger more likely to receive help? What sort of community teaches a citizen to withhold compassion toward strangers? As a grown-up social psychologist, I have spent much of the past two decades systematically exploring these questions." { read more }

Be The Change

Make time today to make your city a kinder place through one small act.

The Practice of Gratitude

It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.

- Irish proverb -

The Practice of Gratitude

"There are really three medicines that you should put in your medicine bundle every day, which are the power of genuine acknowledgment and gratitude, genuine apology, and the spirit of laughter and joy." So begins a heartwarming interview with Angeles Arrien, a teacher, author, and cultural anthropologist, who is affectionately called the "Gratitude Lady". Here, Arrien speaks to Sounds True about how opening our hearts to innate gratitude naturally blossoms into generosity, with practical advice on cultivating a practice of thankfulness everyday. { read more }

Be The Change

Reflect on what you are thankful for and express your inherent generosity in an authentic way.

The Hidden Power of Character

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

- Henry David Thoreau -

The Hidden Power of Character

A child's success can't be measured in IQ scores, standardized tests or vocabulary quizzes, says author Paul Tough. Success, he argues, is about how young people build character. Tough explores this idea in his new book, 'How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity and the Hidden Power of Character.' This NPR piece shares more. { read more }
