Nurturing Physical Pain in Self-Deception

It's alarming what you can discover when you're willing to ponder your life and watch yourself deeply.

I have advanced osteoarthritic degeneration, localized in a couple joints. It doesn't matter much where, except that there are days with pain and days without.

Who wants to play?

Want to play?

I am looking for people who have a small exercise that helps them see people as people just for the morning or an afternoon - not even a full day.

Describing Arbinger--An example and an invitation

Sometimes it is difficult to know how to describe Arbinger to someone who isn't already familiar with the material. The depth and breadth of the material can pose a challenge. We are always looking for new ways of describing Arbinger to others. What follows is an introduction I recently wrote that describes Arbinger as a language about the realm of human experience that is deeper than behavior. I post this with the hope that someone might find it helpful. I also invite you to post your own ways… Continue
