I/O Psychology Blog

So how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

These are a few jokes making the humor circuit…maybe a tongue-in-cheek rebuttal to the health psychologists.

I’ve used this quote with clients who are struggling with building assertiveness and self-esteem while combating the anxieties associated with the judgments of others. For years I attributed it to Twain only to discover recently that Ann Landers is the source. Life is full of little surprises.

I used this with my Psychology classes as far back as the ’70′s. Anne Herbert is something of a poet and philosopher. Check her blog, “Peace and Love and Noticing the Details.” The widely used quote, “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty” is attributed to Anne. -DAD
