Want to be kinder and less angry?

Do you want to be kinder and less irritated in your life?

I don’t have all the answers but here is what I know…

Wisdom Talk: Kindness: better than anger

A Wisdom Talk: Rabbi Brian synthesizes classic rabbinics, world religions, and philosophy into Wisdom Biscuits: tasty, digestible, and filling.

The Jewish Journal describes my talks as “A bewitching combination of borscht-belt humor with a Dharma talk.”

Kindness: better than anger

Learn: The 2 Causes of Anger // How to get angry correctly // Upstream and Downstream: a parable // How to be kind // How to deal gracefully with change // Not to be (as) offended (as often) // The only true cause of mistakes,

Wisdom and quotes from: Shantideva // Reinhold Neibur // Aristotle // The Talmud // St. Augustine // Jesus // (T)God(OMU) // Native American Culture

Three Formats!

1. Audio

After giving this talk 6 times to 6 classes in 2 days, I recorded this almost 30 minute talk in an empty classroom. There is a little post-production where the audio needed to be fixed and you can hear the school bell in the background at some point.

But, I am confident that the variances in audio will not diminish from your enjoyment of the messages.

2. 17+ Pages Illuminated PDF

This is the edited transcript of the 28 minute talk. I hired a college-aged friend to illustrate the text to make the read more ‘fun’ and more Web 2.0.

You will enjoy both the layout and the content.

3. Video Preview

See a graphical recording of this Wisdom Talk. And, hear a preview of the audio.

Not downloadable as of yet. A free taste!

(No, I am not the one who did the drawing.)

100% Guaranteed

$6 for either format, the audio or the pdf.

100% money-back, no questions asked, guarantee.

(Ain’t got $6? E-mail me and I’ll find ROTB donors to scholarship you. No questions asked.)

With love,

Rabbi Brian

“I have the honor of sitting with the Rabbi,” Martin says as I find my seat at the reception to celebrate his granddaughter’s Bat Mitzvah. At times like this, I’m not just Brian. I’m Rabbi Brian. A stand-in for God, Judaism, and all religious persons they’ve met in the past. ✧ ✧ ✧ “We pass the Torah from generation to

Last Tuesday. I’m sitting in an Adirondack chair, my feet resting on a well-weathered log here in Sisters, Oregon. It’s my family’s annual week-long vacation at the same beautiful house we’ve rented for the past four summers. My favorite spot. Just above the little creek. Most of my worries are 153 miles away. ✧✧✧ This Tuesday. I’m sitting in my
