TED – Lunchtime Fun for Intellectuals
My naturopath said that I had "too much heat" this winter. When I asked her to explain, she said it was something like too much stress, excitement etc. When I told her about my lifestyle, she said that I am trying to do too much and I should just relax. I told her that mostly I can’t, since my business is at the stage that it is at, but there have been some small changes.
One thing she insisted on, was that I don’t work while I eat. This is impossible for when I have a business meeting, but when I am just doing writing and research work, such as today… okay.
With perfect timing, a friend of mine sent me an interesting new site full of lectures called TED. Today I watched Industrial Design icon Philippe Starck talk about the meaning of life when you are a designer (of toothbrushes and toilet brushes) and Daniel Goleman, the father of Emotional Intelligence talk about why we aren’t more compassionate. Not a bad lunchtime activity! Maybe you should try it, and turn down that heat a little bit.
