2. PARKINSON'S DISEASE.  2nd most common neurodegenerative disease in US; 1.5 million affected; symptoms:  muscle rigidity, tremors, overall difficulty moving, posture, handwriting, speech; cause still unknown (but head trauma, exposure to chemicals might play roles)
3. DEMENTIA.  
4. CONCUSSION ("MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY)
5. ANXIETY

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama. He says in 2008, the G20 meetings in London became critical as the nations of the world tried to figure out how to get out of the recession; Geithner told Obama that the rest of the world was mad at the US, but they knew they had to help find a solution with the US. (IMF emergency pool, etc); BO needed some finesse to deal with these countries.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt. He says he and his team explored the 5 moral foundations at a university where there were liberals and conservatives. They found that liberals valued CARE and FAIRNESS much more than conservatives. Conservatives valued these, but approximately equally with LOYALTY, etc.

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl. (Afterword section by William Winslade) - Says Frankl decided early to focus his life on psychology & the meaning of life; he corresponded with Freud and published a paper while in his late teens.
