Quite a rec. RT @leedership: @tom_peters Reading Kahneman "Thinking Fast and Slow" arguably the best psych book I have read. Thanks for tip.

@nigelcameron @leedership "Problem" is it's not a fast read. Must absorb slowly. I've re-read and re-read.

As early as my undergraduate years I got to know academics who were struggling physically and mentally with the stress their jobs brought with them, and this image was further normalised for me when I began my Ph.D. research. Being selfish and not speaking about the issues – and thus not risking the potentially bad impression future employers and colleagues may have of me – continues the silence which often surrounds these and other problems. I don’t advocate that everyone lay bare their financial or psychological difficulties, but the further we stay silent and selfish – no matter how great the personal benefits – the more these issues will spiral out of control, perhaps now more than ever, with increasing economic and government pressures in higher education.
Great Art lies both directly and indirectly. Professors, historians and critics are constantly telling us what this or that means. Was Milton, in Paradise Lost, really ‘of the Devil’s party without knowing it’ and does it matter if Thoreau left his cabin at Walden every day to go home to do his laundry and did George Orwell really say ‘In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act’.
The last quotation of Orwell is a appealing because it sounds Orwellian (I almost said ‘honourable) but Orwell probably never said it. Mythology often overshadows the facts and the blog of the Quote Investigator (http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/02/24/truth- revolutionary/) unravelled this in their wonderful exploration of the origins of the quote.
As a sometime anxiety sufferer myself it is comforting to know that are people are facing similar problems. I think Britain prides itself on the whole ‘stiff upper lip’ mentality. Well screw that, because it is a mentality that is detrimental to frank and open discussion . By talking openly about these issues we diffuse their power.
I’m not going to sit here and write how ‘brave’ you are, as if this is something truly transgressive, because far as I’m concerned it should a non-issue.
