“Can an idea a notion as abstract as Relativism produce by itself the effects alleged? cause all the harm, destroy all the lives and reputations? I am as far as anyone can be from denying the power of ideas in history, but the suggestion that a philosophy (as Relativism is often called) has perverted millions and debased daily life is on the face of it absurd. No idea working alone has ever demoralized society, and there have been plenty of ideas simpler and more exciting than Relativism.” Has BeensIdeasPhilosophyFacesLife IsCausesMillionsEffectsProduceExcitingNotionHarmAbsurdReputationPlentyNo IdeaAbstractDaily LifeSuggestionsRelativismPower Of IdeasDemoralizedWorking Alone Book:The Culture We Deserve Source: The Culture We Deserve

“Understanding how to find the magic moments in your daily life is critical. If you subscribe to the philosophy that says, "My vacation will free me from burnout," then you`re waiting for a few days out of the year to make up for many days of stress. Instead, you have to be able to take mini-vacations on a daily basis.” IfsYearsPhilosophyMomentsAbleLife IsWaitingUnderstandingMagicBasesStressCriticalDaily LifeVacationBurnoutMagic Moments Author:Tony Robbins

“The doctrine (of) maintaining that the language of daily life, with words used in their ordinary meanings, suffices for philosophy . . . I find myself totally unable to accept . . . .
