Blog: http://psychreviews.org/humour-sigmund-freud/ Like in his book on dreams, Freud begins "The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious" with a survey of expert opinions on the workings of humour. They include novelist Jean Paul, psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin, and philosophers, Theodor Vischer, Kuno Fischer, and Theodor Lipps. Their opinions include ways to view humour as "playful judgment", "a free play of ideas", "sense in nonsense", "bafflement and light dawning." Lipp emphsizes brevity, "wit says what it does say, not always in few, but always in too few words." This allows the listener the pleasure to figure things out. With more depth some of the opinions move closer to where Freud is heading. To have wit is to have "the ability to...find hidden similarities", and "linking two ideas which in some way are contrasted with each other."

Right Action connects with Right Effort, because when there is a solid understanding of what good actions are for oneself, there's a desire to alter thinking to motivate Right Action. Because effort is a triggering word that exhausted people would least want to hear, that the path requires more effort, Right Effort can be underrated, or overrated.

Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-eightfold-pa…ight-mindfulness/ When we develop the prior steps on the Noble Eightfold Path, there is now a method to look clearer into this human experience. Mindfulness illuminates how reactivity works in the mind and the body, and it reminds us what we are supposed to be doing with the Eightfold Path: To find the Supreme Happiness of Peace.
