Published on June 17, 2015 Dr. Travis Bradberry Author Emotional Intelligence 2.0 & Founder of TalentSmart California School of Professional Psychology We all want  our children to become leaders. Whether they spend the bulk of their days in the mailroom or the corner office, we want our children to grow to be courageous, passionate, and authentic. We want their actions to inspire other people to be their best, to get more out of life than they ever thought possible.

It’s a big responsibility—but when isn’t being a parent a massive responsibility? The beauty of building children into leaders is that it’s the little things we do every day that mold them into the people they’ll become...

 Is There Scientific Proof for the Existence of Chakras? A Brief Introduction to Chakras and The Compelling Science Behind The Energy Found Within Us All July 5, 2018 | Nana Meriwether     --Audio Guide--   What is a Chakra?   Chakras are, “centers in our bodies in which energy flows through” ( Mind Body Green ). If you have a hard time believing that there is energy in our bodies, you should know that our hearts and brains are run by electrical impulses; “The flow of charged ions [is what] causes your heart to beat and your muscles to contract. But nowhere in the body is electrical activity better documented than in the brain, which contains roughly a hundred billion electrically conductive, biological wires” ( Gizmodo ).     You are energy.   Because we see flesh and bones, “this idea may seem far-fetched for some to consider that our body is made of energy, [but] we are a field of energy. Our bodies are electromagnetic and scientists have measu...
