The purpose of Resilient and More (formerly Love is Stronger) is to help people understand they are worthy, capable, connected, and called to adventure.
These beliefs help us feel confident, joyful, and resilient,
Some of the most important influences for the ideas on my blog are from the following philosophers:
Plato, Aristotle, the Buddha, Augustine, Mengzi, Laozi, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, Paulo Freire, bell hooks, and Thich Nhat Hanh.
I also draw on spiritual ideas from the Quaker tradition (which is my own tradition) and other spiritual writers like Thomas Merton, Paul Tillich, Marianne Williamson, and the book A Course in Miracles.
Lastly, I appreciate the work of Brene Brown, Martin Seligman, Kristen Neff, Angela Duckworth, and Carol Dweck.
All seekers of wisdom and loving-kindness are welcome at my blog.
Although I often write out of my own spiritual tradition, I welcome people from a variety of faith traditions or no particular faith tradition.
You are welcome here.
