Jeff Lieberman

I really enjoyed the assembly we had with Jeff Lieberman, and now that he had the chance to come back and talk with us not only in class, but also to talk with him out of class was pretty cool. For one, I think he is incredibly smart and can really think outside the box. You would ask him a question and he would answer with a full analytical response, but then still manage to leave you questioning what you thought you already knew about life. The main thing he made me think about was if there really is a future and why do we spend so much time worrying about the future because by the time our future gets here, we are living in the present. I would like to live more in the now, personally because I do worry about the future a little bit. It helps influence my decisions for my everyday life, but Jeff's question made me really think if what I do to plan for the future and worry about is worth it or not. Can we prove there is a future because when we get to tomorrow, it is called today? What do you think? I love how Jeff makes you start to think outside the box yourself. It teaches you stuff about yourself. I learned a lot about how to take 5 minutes to make myself relieved of some amounts of stress and to just channel my thoughts on one thing by meditating, even if it isn't for a long time. Just once a day may help, and if I find time to, I may try it, occasionally. Overall, I think Jeff is a really cool guy and I would love to have him come back for more questions and talk sessions in the future, if there is one we can prove.

  1. I agree- his sense of calm and ability to be focused is amazing. For me, I would not be as impressed with him if it were not for his amazing mind- he is brilliant in so many fields. That combination- intellect and calm focus-- is what impresses me most.
