Take a snapshot of your life. Does it look and feel out of focus and blurry? Think about your life like you would a photograph. When it is out of focus what you see is blurry or fuzzy. The last time you took a picture and the camera focus was off or not working, were you disappointed with the result? Could be that the people or the scenery were so blurred that it made everything in the picture unrecognizable. What did you do with it? Did you delete it or toss it out if it was a print? Someone who is constantly distracted with trivial tweets, computer games, a constant flow of junk email and Smartphone apps will not be nearly as successful as someone who can and does focus his or her mind and behavior. Learning to do this is truly like learning how to unleash the power of your mind. You have a potent tool available when your mind is focused and you make a purposeful decision to concentrate. Let me ask you, how many times do you check your email, Facebook page and Twitter account per hour? If you are the average heavy multitasker, your answer will be 37 times plus! Now ask yourself this question. What is this doing for you? Are you smarter? Are you wealthier? How about happier? Maybe it is high time you seriously looked into this whole idea of focused attention.

Are You Flourishing Or Languishing? Have you ever met someone that seems to have the "golden touch"? Or, have you ever met someone that you love to be around because they just make you feel good about things? Maybe it was someone in your family or someone you work with. This person also probably had a wide ranging social circle and is "thought well of" by almost everyone this person encounters. Also, did you notice that this person does well at work, enjoys being at work and never seems to take any sick days because there is never a need to? This person seems to be in an "upward life spiral" and their success just keeps piling on. What are they doing right? Well, it could be they are in a zone called "flourish" by psychologists and social scientists. A few years ago researchers decided to start studying not only what causes mental illness but why the mentally healthy have such a wide variance in their ability to cope and thrive in life. They found some very interesting results. It turns out that mental health is not as simple as "not being mentally ill". Just because someone is not pathologically mentally ill does not mean they are psychologically thriving. They could be in the psychological stage of "languishing" and just kind of "spinning their wheels" rather than gaining life skills and adding to their "repertoire" of effective learned behaviors. Research also indicates that only about 18 percent of us are "flourishing" in our life. Well, what is the psychological state of "flourishing" and how do you get it? For some answers, keep reading

Are You Doomed Before You Even Get Started? Have you ever heard the adage: "Success is all in your mind"? Most people believe that success in whatever one attempts to do is determined by how well a person plans, then how well he or she prepares to implement the plan and finally how well the plan is carried out with highly focused actions during each step of implementing the plan. Not too many people argue with this "theory of success". However, have you ever noticed that two people with the same level of preparedness and well made plans can have totally different results after attempting to put their plans into action? This is the case many times even when the two appear to be equally "qualified" to achieve the desired result. The two can have nearly identical qualifications in terms of education, experience and even so called talent yet one succeeds and one fails. You see this happen over and over in life no matter whether you are talking about successful careers, sports, educational endeavors or relationships. There are winners and there are losers in all walks of life and in all that we attempt to achieve. Is it what you are thinking each day, each week, each year that makes the real difference?

George Grant (1918-88) has often been called Canada's greatest political philosopher and his work continues to influence the country's political, social, and cultural discourse and institutions. The fourth and final volume of the Collected Works of George Grant contains his writings from the last period of his life and includes unpublished material such as lectures, interviews, and excerpts from his notebooks.With comprehensive annotations for his articles, reviews, and the three books he published during this period - Time as History, English-Speaking Justice, and Technology and Justice - the volume also contains his writings on Nietzsche, Heidegger Simone Weil, and Cline that were central to this phase of his thought. Volume 4 reveals his engagement with technology and the nature of technological society that is as insightful today as during Grant's lifetime and is lasting proof of his legacy.Arthur Davis is Associate Professor in the School of Social Sciences, Atkinson Faculty of Liberal and Professional Studies, York University. During the 1950's, he studied undergraduate philosophy with George Grant.
