A penetrating look at how we react to criticism both when furnishing it on others and (at once more challenging) receiving it ourselves. Why are we often so hardened and totally stuck in our views and perceptions when softness of mind can yield much larger fruit?

  • Good thoughts on this video thanks. For more top thinkers see Victor J Stenger, Valerie Tarico, Wisdomcommons, Dan Barker, Tentmaker777, Bart Ehrman

  • @6982able I agree that the key thing is to be specific & criticise the individual action / idea, not the whole person with a generalized, exaggerated name calling. Comment on the specific point in terms of your emotions / feelings about it. It is a matter of low resolution / higher resolution comment. Not " I hate you " rather " I hate what you did , that you did that ", Not "you fool " rather " I think that point you made was false." See Robert M Price,' The reason driven life'

  • Ajahn Chah was a master that trained masters. Wow. Thanks to Ajahn Brahm for his clear insight.  Yaaaay from Oregon to the Englishman in Australia

  • he always gives wonderful and related topics that a person should know...thanks for posting! I truely respect him..

  • @hetismij21 That was a beautiful reply. :)

  • @ThghtfulFdDectandKl I agree with you!! I would love to hear his talks.

  • I'm resistant to change because I'm sorry but I never found anything better than my love for Mother Mary and Jesus. However I do have great respect for Buddhism and I also listen to your speech which is inspiring.

  • Criticism only on action but NOT you! Everything is changing! Great advice from A Brahm. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu.
