Last updated on: August 14, 2014 at 8:40 am By Dr. Steven Garber

What Makes a Good Life?

Last updated on: January 26, 2015 at 10:16 am By Dr. Steven Garber

Sometimes words write themselves on our hearts. I still remember a conversation with a friend whom we had invited to join us for lunch, and we were talking about anything and everything. He was one of the bright lights of life: very smart, very personable, very gifted. “Sometimes I feel like 16 different people.” A serious actor full of hope that he would spend his life on stage, taking up roles and characters to satisfy his yearnings and pay his...

Unbroken, and Broken

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 1:22 pm By Dr. Steven Garber

Vir. It is not a word we use very often. But we do know virile, and virility, and virtue— each are words rooted in the ancient word, vir. What is a man? What does it mean to be human? Who are we? What are we like? What are we supposed to be like? Like thousands of others, I went to see the film, “Unbroken,” over the holidays. Having read the book a few years ago, I was intrigued when Angelina Jolie... Read more
