Zerebria

Eden Journal, Eric Watermolen’s blog on personal development, has been lately through major changes, the biggest of which is that the blog is now opened to massive collaboration by other writers. As a long time reader of Eric’s blog, (more…)

The law of attraction, as described in Rhonda Byrne’s ‘The Secret’, affirms that we attract what we think of, so we must forge images of what we want, instead of continuously filling our mind with what is not, what should not be, what is a pity, etc. Apparently, the universe pretty much (more…)

At the age of 38, after a brilliant career as a statesman and negotiator, Michel Eyquem de Montaigne retires from public life to live in the country (keep in mind that in the XVIth century human life was much shorter). Free from all trouble, he dedicates himself to writing his essays. (more…)
