Why limiting self beliefs can be so destructive (and how to repair the damage)
The coral reef had become a silent graveyard but was soon brought back to life A lone diver placed a few black boxes on the "dead" reef, set up some cameras, and then swam away. Weeks later, something had changed. There were fish gliding around where few had been before. They were finding food on the reef, and so accidentally cleaning it. Sea creatures that make food from light were back, too. And, of course, predators had returned. The reef was thriving again. What caused this sudden transformation? One of the black boxes the diver left behind contained a [...]
Two unusual ways to get in touch with limiting beliefs
There is a substance that makes dogs go crazy. It's not a piece of meat like bacon. It's not an illegal drug, either. It's a spice you can buy in just about any store -- anise. If you put some oil of anise on the ground, any nearby dog will become drawn to the spot. They will become alive with excitement. They will roll around in it. They may start to yelp and chase their own tails. It's quite a sight. The first time people see a dog's crazy response to anise, they're often a bit confused. Why is [...]

Why Do People Have Prejudice?
Just as we in 21st Century America look back at cultural practices of years gone by with a combination of repulsion and amazement, future generations probably will look back at the prejudice that runs rampant in the world today with similar reactions. Just as it is almost impossible for us to understand the Roman thinking that feeding people to lions is a spectator sport, in a few years people will try to understand why millions of otherwise sane individuals would consider some people “less than” others because of the color of their skin, their ethnicity, or their sexual preference. Rather [...]
