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.

Relativism

Quote 2350

What we call evil is simply ignorance bumping its head in the dark - Henry Ford

Quote 2349

We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are - Anais Nin

Quote 2348

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world - Buddha

Quote 2347

We are not upset by things - but rather by the view we take of them - Epictetus

Quote 2346

Understanding that there is no objective reality, there is no single truth, that no one is actually right is hugely liberating. The world in which you live is your world the one constructed by your mind in order to make sense of what is going on outside it. Our confidence in our interpretation is confused by events in our childhood, perceived pressure from others, social convention, marketing messages and chemical changes in our bodies. Talking with colleagues, clients, friends, reading history or watching movies or dramas we constantly see how internal confusion leads to damaging misjudgement - http://www.authenticbusiness.co.uk/discover/default.aspx

Quote 2345

True and False are figures of speech, not attributes of things - Thomas Hobbes

Quote 2344

Today, a particularly insidious obstacle to the task of educating is the massive presence in our society and culture of that relativism which, recognising nothing as definitive leaves as the ultimate criterion only the self with its desires. And under the semblance of freedom it becomes a prison for each one, for it separates people from one another, locking each person into his or her own "ego" - Pope Benedict XVI, June 2005

Quote 2343

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so - Shakespeare (Hamlet)

Quote 2342

There is no history of mankind, there are only many histories of all kinds of aspects of human life - Karl Popper
