The Science Of Learning
Learning to drive
My daddy taught me how to drive when I was just 12 years old and living in Texas, and he taught me on an automatic transmission, not a stick shift. We always had automatics growing up ─ I never had to learn how to use a clutch [...]
Wired For Accountability
“I really want to establish a spiritual practice, Beth. And I find myself struggling to be consistent with anything,” my friend, Stephanie confided.
“When I find I have the time to spend in my practice, it seems that I inevitably [...]
