- Elaine Dundon, MBA, is co-author, with her husband Alex Pattakos, PhD, of The OPA! Way: Finding Joy & Meaning in Everyday Life & Work. She is also author of the international, best-selling book, The Seeds of Innovation. With her husband, she is also co-founder of The Global Meaning Institute. She is a former faculty member at the University of Toronto.
Here she points out that a third of the words we use in English have Greek roots. Ancient Greece gave birth to philosophy and to the important notion that our fate is determined by how we develop our character. The very word, philosophy, means “the love of wisdom.” She describes how, in her travels through the villages of Greece, she and her husband discovered many wisdom teachings alive in the lives of the people. She also points out how the Greek people have survived through many invasions and other crises throughout the millennia. As a result of this history they have learned how to find meaning in life under a wide range of circumstances.

He serves as dean of transformational psychology at the University of Philosophical Research. He teaches parapsychology for ministers in training with the Centers for Spiritual Living through the Holmes Institute. He has served as vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, and is the recipient of its Pathfinder Award for outstanding contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities. His American Indian name, chosen at age eight, is Soaring Eagle.

Refreshing. Wonderful interview.
Definitely,.....an interesting talk.
You are getting it wrong philo means friend
Philosophy in Portuguese is: filosofia. Filho means "son" and therefore translates to "the son of Sophia" (i.e., the son or children of the Goddess). We continue to ignore the Goddess of Fate. Just look at the Statue of Liberty (who represents the Goddess of Fate), but humans continue to believe in free will, an illusion to appease the false ego identity. Sadly it isolates us from our true relationship with the Divine.
PHILOSOPHIA is an ancient Greek word, and has not the meaning that you're saying....Ancient Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophía), from φίλος (phílos, “beloved”.... friend ) + σοφία (sophía, “wisdom”). Synchronically, philo- + -sophy.
that one strand of hair is upsetting me
