“In the last few decades entire new categories of waste have come to plague and menace the American scene. Pollution is growing at a rapid rate. Pollution destroys beauty and menaces health. It cuts down on efficiency, reduces property values and raises taxes. Almost all these wastes and pollutions are the result of activities carried on for the benefit of man. A prime national goal must be an environment that is pleasing to the senses and healthy to live in. Our Government is already doing much in this field. We have made significant progress. But more must be done.” MenMadeDoneGovernmentLastsValuesGoalResultsBeautyEnvironmentCuttingGrowingProgressFieldsHealthySceneActivityTaxesWasteBenefitsRaisesPropertyRateDecadesSensesSignificantPrimeCategoriesPollutionEfficiencyPlagueRapidsMenacePollution Control Author:Lyndon B.

I could feel stress melting out of my body.” FeelsHeartBodyStrongVoiceMy HeartHealthyStressRateCalmCellsPermissionRelaxedSlow DownMeltingVery DeepSoothingHeart Rate Author:Brad Willis
“The everyday brain could be dubbed "the baseline brain," because it operates at the minimum functioning to keep you alive and healthy. It controls your heart rate, your blood pressure, your immune function, all of your subconscious impulses. That's not a minor role; the baseline brain is a marvel of complexity and efficiency. But too much of it is devoted to habits, old conditioning, unconscious reflexes, and lack of self-awareness.” HeartSelfBrainRolesToo MuchAliveBloodAwarenessHabitHealthyFunctionPressureSelf AwarenessEverydayRateImpulseComplexityUnconsciousDevotedMinorsEfficiencyMinimumSubconsciousConditioningImmuneReflexesBlood PressureHeart Rate Author:Deepak Chopra
“I'm in a profession with a dismal success rate, in an academic field with a dismal hiring rate. And I don't write, really, about any of that - rather the institutional structures I've negotiated my way through, with healthy doses of luck, provide a breathing, parasitic glimpse into the bureaucratic monolith of the creative-degree machine.” WritingHealthyLuckRateProfessionMy WayAcademicHiring Author:Davis Schneiderman
“There are still many women - and their spouses and children - who view a reflected self - I'm Mrs. Smith, not Mary Smith - as psychologically healthy. Those people are not motivated to change. But it is really dangerous to live through others'. What ever your circumstances, it is not a good idea to be wholly dependent on responses from others to like, respect or love yourself. Your children will grow up and start their own families; the divorce rate has remained at 50 percent for decades.” PeopleChildrenGrowing UpLove YouDangerousCircumstancesHealthyOur ChildrenResponseRateDivorceYour ChildrenMotivatedLove YourselfSpouse Author:Judith M Bardwick
