We need more accounts/understandings/models of flourishing that are multidimensional. We are more than “rational”, but it’s an important part. Psychodynamic/PsyA perspectives elaborate on this and it’s great!

I like to sneak this out at the hospital on occasion. The confused glares from fellow psychologists is both comedic and illuminating. Oddly, no one ever wants to discuss over a friendly beer!

The privilege of seeing both Nancy McWilliams and Michael Garrett speak this week.

“…affective neuroscience is thoroughly monistic, with no remaining dualistic perspectives.”

I’m curious if this hard stance. One needn’t subscribe to a strong physicalism to be open to there only being physical stuff but with properties that may not be wholly reducible to that stuff. No?

Good mix at the moment, but slow going.
