Food is better medicine than drugs Patrick Holford More Quotes by Patrick Holford More Quotes From Patrick Holford It takes 3 weeks to break a habit, 6 weeks to develop a new habit and 36 weeks to hardwire this new habit. Patrick Holford weekhabitbreak Psychological factors are vital. We don't learn how to improve our emotional intelligence. Even in ancient cultures, such as the Greeks, cultivation of the art of being able to enter a state of awareness that is deeply blissful, and beyond thought and feeling as such. Many people have become disillusioned with religions and, as such, have turned away from pursuing anything spiritual. That create a loss of sense of purpose and a lot of anger. Sure, there are all sorts of problems with organised religions, but there are also all sorts of problems with the world of 'science' too. Patrick Holford spirituallossart The Dalai Lama once said that every human being has two fundamental desires: to be happy and free of pain. I'm interested both in helping people and myself achieve these and also, in the process, finding out what our full potential is as human beings.
