Chris may be thinking of this song by (and recorded by) Al Ellis: WHINE, WHINE, WHINE!
(Yale Whiffenpoof Song by Guy Scull a Harvard Man) I cannot have all of my wishes filled Whine, whine, whine! I cannot have every frustration stilled Whine, whine, whine! Life really owes me the things that I miss, Fate has to grant me eternal bliss! And since I must settle for less than this Whine, whine, whine! ...Scott Scott O. Lilienfeld, Ph.D. Professor Department of Psychology, Room 473 Emory University 36 Eagle Row Atlanta, Georgia 30322 [email protected]; 404-727-1125 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. - Zen Buddhist text (slightly modified) -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Green [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 6:25 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] What Would Carl Rogers Do? Well, this doesn't sound much like therapy at all, but just the kind of unhelpful advice one gets from a bad boss. That said, it also sounds a fair bit like Albert Ellis, which isn't new at all. (Indeed, Ellis said he was just reworking Stoicism for the 20th century.) Chris .......
