Harvard University is widely known for academic excellence, rigorous research, and world-class faculty. But beyond its prestigious campus lies another remarkable contribution: free online education available to learners around the globe.

Autobiographical memory is the system that allows humans to remember their own life experiences. It is the mental archive of events, emotions, people, and places that define who we are. From childhood memories to recent experiences, autobiographical memory plays a central role in identity formation, emotional regulation, decision-making, and social connection.

Yale University’s commitment to expanding access to high-quality education is embodied in one of its most generous initiatives: Open Yale Courses (OYC). At the heart of this program is the belief that knowledge should be shared freely with the world, regardless of geography, background, or financial means.

One standout example of this generosity is the free lecture series “Philosophy and the Science of Human Nature” (PHIL 181), a full Yale College course made available online through OYC, alongside dozens of other free lectures covering subjects from history to economics. 

Psychological formulation is a core clinical skill used across mental health disciplines to understand a person’s difficulties in context. Rather than focusing on symptoms or a diagnosis, a psychological formulation provides a structured explanation of how and why a person’s problems developed, what keeps them going, and what may help bring about change.

Dr. James Davies, a psychotherapist, social anthropologist, and author, examines how the DSM evolved not purely as a scientific document, but through political, institutional, and economic forces that continue to influence mental health practices today.

The Power-Threat Meaning Structure (PTMS) is a psychological framework that offers a different way of understanding emotional distress, trauma, and mental health struggles. Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?”, the Power-Threat Meaning Structure asks “What happened to you?”—shifting the focus from diagnosis to lived experience.

Relationships can be deeply rewarding—but even the strongest couples hit challenging seasons.

In our daily life, we are faced with various situations where we need to make choices. While some choices can be easy and quick, some of them can be risky and difficult.

These kinds of decisions are life-changing and shape the future of the individual.

Life in 2020 due to the pandemic shifted to computer, tablet, and phone screens. With electronic screens literally becoming our windows to the world for the majority of us.

I was extremely fortunate to have studied under Jaak Panksepp before he sadly passed at just 74. Way too young to leave to make the journey to heaven, as he had so much to give. Every person who unfortunately develops Cancer from every race, religion or creed must be provided with the best help we can humanly possibly provide, and the fields of allopathic medicine and lifestyle medicine must work together better on preventing and reversing Cancer, so people are not lost to this horrendous disease.

In the last 10-years with the rise in cost of living I have seen first-hand how many couples and families are struggling to plan quality time together.

To be skilled at presence, we need to develop body intelligence, by working to cultivate awareness and connection with our physical self.

The Fantasy Bond was developed by Dr. Robert Firestone, to describe an unconscious, romanticized connection between two people, which is often rooted in fantasy-based expectations, and not grounded in reality.

Using or developing compassion as a skill is not just valuable in a loving relationship, but in need to embrace as a skill to learn for every person in the World.

Universal Laws or Universal Truths are simply truths that give an individual permission to see the greatness within themselves, to appreciate their brilliance, to rise above mediocrity (the norm) and to know they can achieve whatever they want to achieve.
