“This is the woman who stopped the Stanford Prison Study. When I said it got out of control, I was the prison superintendent. I didn't know it was out of control. I was totally indifferent. She came down, saw that madhouse and said, "You know what, it's terrible what you're doing to those boys. They're not prisoners, they're not guards, they're boys, and you are responsible." And I ended the study the next day. The good news is I married her the next year.” KnowsYearsSaidNextBoysStudySawsTerribleMarriedNewsResponsiblePrisonPrisonerIndifferentNext DayGood NewsNext YearStanfordMadhousesSuperintendents Author:Philip Zimbardo

“One study on the treatment of asthma patients conducted by researchers John Goyeche, Dr. Ago, and Dr. Ikemi, suggests that any effective treatment should address suppressed emotions-such as anxiety and self-image-as well as the physical dimension. To achieve this, they encourage correction of poor posture, and helping the person relax the irrelevant respiratory muscles while restoring full diaphragmatic breathing. They also recommended finding ways for getting rid of excess mucus. The good news is that a well rounded breath practice will do all these things.” WayShouldWellsPersonsSelfHelpingPoorEmotionPracticeStudyAchieveAnxietyFindingsNewsBreathsPatientBreathingMusclesDimensionsAddressesRelaxTreatmentExcessDrsIrrelevantGood NewsPostureResearchersCorrectionsRestoringAsthmaWell RoundedRespiratory Author:Donna Farhi

“I thought I was growing wings— it was a cocoon. I thought, now is the time to step into the fire— it was deep water. Eschatology is a word I learned as a child: the study of Last Things; facing my mirror—no longer young, the news—always of death, the dogs—rising from sleep and clamoring and howling, howling....
