Alan Watts: Love & Marriage

 
 
 




Alan Watts breaks down what's wrong with the world (1970)

 
The very wise Alan Watts breaks down what's wrong with the world at large, and does so back in 1970! His foreshadowing of the manipulation of the food supply through high yield crops is eery and so very true (i.e., Monsanto and their Ready Roundup crops).
He proposes a number of things we can do to change our attitudes towards life and the planet. I'm sorry to say he would be greatly disappointed if he were alive today, however we still have a chance to set things right and fulfill Watts' dream of unity, peace, and love.

The Road Less Travelled - Scott Peck (1 of 16)

 
 
 
Morgan Scott Peck (1936 -- 2005) was an American psychiatrist and best-selling author, his most notable works being 'The Road Less Traveled' and 'The People of the Lie'.
His wealth of experience as a psychotherapist led him to some most interesting theories on how to live a more fulfilling life. These included such areas as Psycho-Spiritual Growth, The Myth of Romantic Love, Evil and an understanding of the differences between 'Legitimate' and 'Illegitimate' Suffering in the face of life's problems.

 
 
 




Mad, bad or sad? The Psychology of Personality Disorders

Personality disorders are a contentious issue in psychiatry. How many are there and how reliable is their diagnosis? Are we just medicalising bad behavior and social inadequacy.
How should medical and criminal justice sectors divide responsibility?

Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.
