I am doing the course Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Human Mind, Our Modern World with Prof. Eric S. Rabkin on www.coursera.org so for this course I have been reading Fantasy and Science Fiction. I have always been an avid reader which was of great help because I have to read an average of 300 pages a week. Nevertheless, I have learned a new way to read. Now, I am not only enjoying the stories; I am also finding new meanings for the author's words. Reading is a fascinating journey to imagination. You should try it!

I found a great webpage which I would like to share with everybody. Coursera.org. This webpage give courses of a variety of subjects. I am doing the one named Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Human Mind, Our World. It has been a magical journey to a literature genre which I thought I didn't like. I am about to start another course about Greek and Roman Mythology and another about Logic. Check the webpage and start learning.

I found this book review so interesting that I bought the book. I am reading it and I hope I can learn how to change habits. Throughout my whole life, I have been able to modify many of my bad habits; nevertheless, I still have some habits that make my life miserable. I am hoping that positive psychology and neuroscience can teach me how to develop a complete happy personality. In the meantime I want to share with you this link. http://positivepsychologynews.com/news/lisa-sansom/2012031921596

Today, I've been surfing the net. I have found many articles about Positive Psychology. This is the link of some of them. http://forum.psychlinks.ca/content.html. Knowing that we can learn to be happy feels my heart with joy.

The capacity to know oneself and to know others is an inalienable part of the human condition as is the capacity to know objects or sounds, and it deserves to be investigated no less than these other "less charged" forms. Howard Gardner (1983, p. 243) Frames of Mind
