June 2010 Newsletter
Dear Friend,
This (more or less) monthly newsletter is for my Wildmind meditation students, coaching clients, colleagues, and all who subscribe to my mailing list.
Please note that you won't hear from me for a while as I'll be taking some time off. I'm attending a family wedding, a short vacation in Yosemite, and then a four-week meditation retreat in CA. I'll be back in touch when I return in early August.
If you don't wish to receive this newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of this email.
With all my best wishes,
Sunada Takagi

How do you want to live your life? By expressing your talents and energies in a more meaningful way? By contributing to the greater good of real people and the planet? By acting with more confidence, poise, and sense of purpose?In so many ways, our world is crying out for help. Our environment, economy, businesses, communities, and people of all stripes. The need is endless.
If you feel drawn to help -- and make your part of the world a more caring and life-affirming place -- I'm with you. I coach people to fire up their inspiration for good, then gather the confidence and resources to make it a reality.
No matter how small the contribution, the world needs you!

Reconnecting with silence
Being fresh off a recent retreat, I'd like to share what it's like to be in silence, and why it's a good thing. Even if we don't go on retreats, I think there are many reasons why it's important to bring more silence into our lives. More...
The surprising truth about what motivates us
This is a great 10-minute video that debunks the traditional notion that money incents us to work harder and better. When the task at hand calls for creativity and conceptual thinking, offers of money actually make us do WORSE! Fascinating stuff. And lots of implications for how we run organizations and create incentives. More...
The Four Noble Truths according to Calvin
There is suffering, there is a cause, there is a cure, it is immersing yourself in the Way...I found this wonderful reinterpretation of this classic Buddhist teaching by Calvin. The four frames speak for themselves! More...
