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. - Zen Buddhist text (slightly modified) -----Original Message----- From: Mike Palij [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 6:04 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Cc: Mike Palij Subject: re: [tips] Milgram/Shatner On Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:46:50 -0700, Scott O Lilienfeld wrote: >Interesting little story on the Mind Hacks Website re: the 1976 >William Shatner film (the "Tenth Level") based on the Milgram >obedience studies.
