One of my favorite people (and (soul) big brothers), Dan Siegel, wrote a great book called “Parenting from the Inside Out.” (No. I’m not a parent yet but getting ready..3-5 years my Goddess says. :)
The Big Idea?
Researchers can measure the health of a child by looking at the child’s “attachment” to his/her mom and dad. The attachment can be unhealthy or healthy. Whether or not it is healthy is one of the strongest predictors of the child’s well-being.
Now, the cool part is that the strongest predictor of the child’s attachment is the PARENT’s emotional health!
Specifically, whether or not the parent has a “coherent narrative”—a coherent, integrated sense of themselves that can be measured in a simple interview process with a researcher.
Isn’t that AMAZING.
Another reason to “know ourselves” and integrate the challenges and dreams of our lives into a coherent narrative.

Obviously, the real issue has nothing to do with fear itself, but, rather, how we hold the fear. For some, the fear is totally irrelevant. For others, it creates a state of paralysis. The former hold their fear from a position of power (choice, energy, and action), and the latter hold it from a position of pain (helplessness, depression, and paralysis).

Testimonials
“Hi Brian - - I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy thinkarete. In the beginning, I wasn't sure how you could do it daily, but it gives me just enough philosophy to ponder and I can delve deeper into something when I have the time. Arete (the newsletter) has also inspired some insightful (not inciteful!) dialogue between my best friend and myself. We look forward to our daily Arete. Thanks for sharing.”
