I love this project!  Haily’s active decision to pull herself into the present moment and be grateful for all that she has is inspiring to just about everyone I show this video. Personally, I’m particularly moved by how it changed her relationship with her husband.

In “flipped learning,” students watch podcasts of their teacher’s lectures on their own time and spend their time in the classroom applying what they’ve learned at home. This allows people to learn at their own pace by watching the lecture wherever and whenever they have time, and by watching it as many times as they need to. Schools that have applied this method of teaching in all their classrooms have seen their failure rates drop dramatically.

If you’ve ever wondered how my online classes work, I use this “flipped learning” model, which works as well for busy parents and professionals as it does for high school students. You watch or listen to a video class on your own time—whenever and wherever you want, as many times as you want—and then we meet live (online or on a phone line) to discuss and integrate the teaching, and to ask and answer questions.

Whether or not you (or your children) have a learning or physical disability, we all have challenges. This is incredibly great advice about how to live well and happily.

I love showing my kids videos like this one that have gone viral. Matt, who has Spastic Cerebral Palsy, is, of course, inspiring in his incredible determination, but so are the other kids. They provide moving evidence that spontaneous support for another person can have a wide ricochet!

The human spirit is so inspiring: we can do so much with so little. I want all American children to see this, so that they see great abundance where once they saw lack!

This video is such a warm “best of” reel of the things we value most in our everyday lives: romance, chivalry, comedy, bravery, justice, thoughtfulness, generosity and joy. It gives me chills!

We humans are built to form strong connections with other human beings… no matter how much geographical distance separate us. I find this video so uplifting and moving!

I am grateful that I truly love my work, and I hope that my example is enough for my children. I worry, however, that what our educational system teaches is “all wretch and no vomit,” as Alan Watts says in this VERY inspirational video. Even if our kids go to an outstanding school—or maybe especially when our kids go to outstanding schools—somehow they still must learn who they are and what they want in life. Clearly there is little value in being an elite performer in a field you don’t love, or an achiever who doesn’t feel joy in the journey to achievement.

A message for my mother from Dr. Greene on YouTube.

Have you heard that women who’ve born children live longer than their childless female peers? New research may reveal why–this cool video explains!
