On Saturday, the U.S. will celebrate Independence Day. But perhaps we should be celebrating our Interdependence.
"Independence often stimulates a sense of pride — a sense that I am competent, capable and can get along without others. Interdependence, on the other hand, stimulates a sense of humility, a reminder to be grateful, an acknowledgment that we cannot exist except through the efforts of others."
I've posted a short (10min) podcast in the Internet Library of Japanese Psychology entitled,
Beyond Fireworks: Celebrating our Interdependence
which discusses gratitude, freedom and interdependence.

Happy Interdependence Day!
Warm regards,
