Anyone who has worked with me will follow and understand this next video I have linked here. Much of what is in here are areas where I help people re-find focus and harmony in life. Again I enjoy finding snippets like this where modern psychology is beginning to catch up to older practices like Taoism in how to see and work to living a better life.

To those interested how to learn more of what Daniel Kahneman talks about and use Taoism in applying this to their life can contact me later. This is all about making one's life an art of graceful living: mixing the present and the stories we accept as our nature. To understand we are many stories. No one story represents truth.
Instead it how we learn to take our stories and use them to become more than just the story that is critical in this process.
We teach how to live in the "now" in Taoism, that is: to come to terms with the one self. The self aware in consciousness in the present time that the story telling self tends to bury. But Taoism also teaches how to understand and handle the story telling side of our nature. We don't only live to the "now" we also are taught in Taoism how to control our destiny and the stories that shape this destiny.
The melding of what Kahneman calls the "two selfs" into a fuller self is a path well worth exploring, and one that Taoism teaches how to do in great detail: since it leads to one's Personal Tao.
Namaste
