Journaling: How Whining Can Make You Healthier
The Sound of Ideas: Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Fifteen years of research--and an awful lot of human experience--have found that writing in a journal might not just feel good... it may actually make you healthier. Sheppard Kominars knows this firsthand: He journaled his way through cancer treatment seven years ago. Kominars says journaling isn't just for self-described writers, either. In fact, those with the least experience may have the most to gain. Join us Wednesday morning at nine for a conversation with the author of Write for Life.
Africa, Land of the 144 Percent Investment Return
The Sound of Ideas: Tuesday, October 9, 2007
Scan the news for headlines about Africa, and what you get is predominantly wars, rapes, spreading HIV, poverty and national debts, but it's not the whole story. Filmmaker Carol Pineau says the rest of the story involves growing businesses and returns on investment as high as 144 percent. Pineau--who grew up in Shaker Heights--tells the story in two films: Africa: Open for Business (2005) and Africa: Investment Horizons (2008). Pineau is in town to be inducted into the Shaker Heights High School Alumni Hall of Fame, and she and others will join us Tuesday morning at nine to talk about the good news from Africa.
