Re: brain pick for TIPSTERS

[Scott Lilienfeld]

Deb: Yes, we certainly do, but many of the graduate students find the 
questions raised routinely at these colloquia and intradepartment talks 
to be extremely threatening and challening as well. As for Gerald 
Patterson's suggestions, ironically we did use the Dawes book a number 
of years ago in precisely this setting. But most of the clinical 
graduate students reacted to it extremely negatively, expressing the 
view that they found Dawes to be overly harsh, pugnacious, and critical. 
Again, I most certainly do not share this view, but this goes to show 
that the problem we confront isn't easily remedied by assigning 
readings, although I agree that this might be a useful way to start in 
some cases. ...Scott

The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his work and his 
play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his 
recreation, his love and his intellectual passions.  He hardly knows which is which.  
He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to 
decide whether he is working or playing.  To him – he is always doing both.
