Serotonin and boosting happiness. Secondly, another way to boost serotonin is by having a massage. Studies show a positive relationship between massages and serotonin levels. This again helps to release tension, relax us and could possibly also increase serotonin due to the physical human contact.

Stereotyping and how insane we really are | Katia Covalenco
https://covalenco.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/stereotyping-and-how-insane-we-really-are
Can you hear the wheels turning? October 7, 2011. Stereotyping and how insane we really are. Stereotyping, it’s something we all do, we do it daily, sometimes even in a very creative manner, unconsciously or on purpose. It is unfortunately part of our daily lives and a staple in any culture or society, some even may argue it is related to the instinct of survival. On the other hand, isn’t labeling stereotypes as being bad a stereotype in itself? Next post →. October 10, 2011. October 11, 2011. There are ...

Can you hear the wheels turning? October 21, 2011. Surely drawing conclusions with the support of unchecked and limited information must lead to erroneous results.

I suppose we just have to find the right balance. Next post →. October 24, 2011. A very impressive blog! October 25, 2011. October 28, 2011.

Can you hear the wheels turning? October 14, 2011. Who is in control? Are the events of our daily lives dictated by predetermined factors? Is free will a philosophical concept or are we in control of our thoughts and behavior? Given the fact that we function in a legally free society, is the same right given to our minds? If we are constrained into electing certain choices, what can be said about the course of our evolution as rational beings? Do we have a choice? How does that effect society? Address ne...
