LovePrevails Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 I wanted to collect these videos on one thread as I think these were some of my favourite shows, and someday me or someone else will want to type Warren Farrell in the search field and get them all in one place. Here they are. 2
Tservitive Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Someday me or someone else will want to type Warren Farrell in the search field and get them all in one place. Here they are. I was trying to do just this. Thank you!
PatrickC Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Yes be interesting to see how this trio could collaborate again in future perhaps.
Tservitive Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I really liked the video about John Lennin. I have just bought this guy's book. Thank you for sharing these videos! 1

neeeel Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I found it quite disturbing when warren gave an example of good parenting as the father not giving the child desert unless he ate his peas. I suppose that says more about me than about warren or the example. If the father and child came to a negotiated agreement about it before hand, I guess I understand the reasoning. And I can see the point about teaching delayed gratification. but I still find it disturbing for some reason. 1

neeeel Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I agree !! I haven't been keen on that either. Thanks for pointing it out. so its not just me then? I know I have issues with authority, and so was open to the idea that it might be fine for a father to work that way. I wouldnt feel that happy about doing it, myself, though.
J. D. Stembal Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? - Pink Floyd, Another Brick in the Wall I also find the lack of negotiation at the family dinner table to be disturbing, as it lies at the root of dogmatic nutritional thought (three meals a day, healthy whole grains, portion control, calories in calories out), and perpetuates the propaganda onto the next generation. My three precepts are listen to your body, eat that which makes you feel good, and finally, eat when you are hungry, stop eating when you aren't. Family dinner throws all of this out the window, at least in my personal experience.
