There are of course, so many people we can all learn from and who inspire us to live up to our full potential. And with the amazing world of the internet, even some great teachers from the past can come alive and talk to us.
Below are some short video snippets from people past and present. I found them thought provoking and quite interesting, so decided to collect them into one convenient place for your enjoyment. If you don't have time for hours of book reading, stop by here and play a few clips.There's always time for a 5-10 minute video break!
If you enjoy these clips, there are many more on YouTube. Just search for your favorite philosopher or author and you may be quite surprised by what you find. And if you discover any you think would fit here, please just send us an email!
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Krishnamurti is regarded the world over as one of the greatest religious teachers of all time. For nearly sixty years he traveled all over the world, pointing out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of their thoughts and feelings in daily life. His books and teachings are timeless. Buckminster Fuller
An American visionary, designer, architect (inventor of the geodesic dome), poet author, inventor and modern-day philosopher. From the brink of bankruptcy and suicide after his daughter's death, he chose to make his life "an experiment, to find what a single individual can contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity." (He was also named by Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki as his one of his greatest teachers.) Viktor Frankl
Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist and the founder of logotherapy and Existential Analysis. He endured years in Nazi death camps and wrote Man's Search for Meaning. The book describes his experiences in the camps and outlines Logotherapy (Logos is a Greek word denoting meaning) his revolutionary approach to psychotherapy. He asserts that mans search for meaning is the primary motivation of life. It is essential that each individual determine that meaning for themselves. David Bohm
This quantum physicist made significant contributions in the fields of theoretical physics, philosophy and neuropsychology. Bohm worked closely with Albert Einstein and held the view that both the universe and our brains operate as holograms. His pioneering work greatly contributed to the current convergence of quantum physics with the ancient wisdom of spiritual traditions. |
