Happy birthday to Avery Brooks, who played Captain Benjamin Sisko on DS9. Cool fact: Brooks directed nine episodes of the series, including "Far Beyond the Stars", an episode focusing on racial injustice.
In the Harvard Grant Study, the worldโs longest running and most comprehensive psychological study, the five most mature, healthy defense mechanisms associated with higher life satisfaction were:
1. Altruism: focusing on othersโ wellbeing
2. Humor: making light of difficult or stressful events or experiences
3. Sublimation: turning anger or frustration into productive energy
4. Anticipation: maintaining a realistic view of the future and its difficulties
5. Suppression: consciously suppressing unproductive and distressing thoughts
