The 52:52:52 project, launching both on this site and on social media in early 2024 will help you address 52 issues with 52 responses over 52 weeks.

A Mundane Comedy is Dominic Kelleher's new book, which will be published in mid 2024. The introduction is available here and further extracts will appear on this site and on social media in the coming months.

This site addresses what's changing, in our own lives, in our organisations, and in wider society. You'll learn about key changes across more than 150 areas, ranging from ageing and time, through nature and animals, to kindness and love...and very much else inbetween.

Halcyon's aim is to help you reflect on how you can better deal with related change in your own life.

Depression

Quote 784

There is but an inch of difference between the cushioned chamber and the padded cell - G. K. Chesterton (English journalist and author, 1874-1936)

Quote 783

Lying to oneself promotes psychological well-being. Research shows that depressed people deceive themselves less than those who are mentally healthy. Frankly, if we did not deceive ourselves, I think we would go mad from distress. For example, the simple fact that we're all going to die, that there are various people in the world out to get us, that a good deal of the world lives in unrelenting misery and hunger- it's all enough to drive everyone bonkers. Unless we are capable of shielding ourselves from that, we would be constantly disturbed - David Livingston Smith http://www.conference-board.org/articles/atb_article.cfm?id=267&pg=2

Quote 782

Life is a rainbow which also includes black - Yevgeny Yevtushenko

Quote 781

In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Quote 780

If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back every morning - Anon

Quote 779

I?ve wanted to fantasise about the best in humanity, all my life, but on the other, it?s too depressing to be swimming against such an overwhelmingly savage tide - Anon
