Amusing - and enlightening.
I am relieved to hear a talk about why life is so
overwhelming at times.
Thanks

This video should be viewed after reading "The Social Atom" http://thesocialatom.blogspot.com/. The question we all have to ask and answer for ourselves is "am I a social atom?".

It is a great lecture, sharing hence my students were assigned to view this lecture as well. Lots of wisdom to learn through the practical and real scenarios presented.
