About This Blog

You've reached the website of Dr. John Gibson, licensed psychologist in Holland, Michigan.

"Psychology Applied to Daily Life (more or less)" is, as the title implies, a bit loose in its focus. You might find something of interest here if you're thinking about entering therapy, for instance. But you'll also find posts about the positive aspects of psychological life, e.g., happiness, savoring, etc.

If nothing else, hopefully the information found here will stimulate you to think more deeply about your own psychology.

What this blog is not is a form of therapy.

Thank you for dropping by.

“Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.”

--Mark Twain


I’m not sure if Benjamin Button, from the movie of the same name, would agree.
