Jonathan Driver (section 1)

My name is Jonathan Driver
My major is Psychology
My minor is Philosophy
My career path (as of right now) is becoming a clinical psychologist/ researcher.
One thing about myself is that I am Buddhist so I have some intro into Buddhist philosophy.
My idea of what philosophy is that philosophy is the search for meaning and wisdom in life.
The one thing that has influenced my idea of philosophy, as well as my personal philosophy, is Buddhism. The Buddha set forth a philosophy that can be summed up into the following: Do no harm to yourself, Do no harm to others, and Tame your own mind. This is how I try to live my life on a daily basis. I also add the idea of being compassionate at all costs, because through compassion we see others as they actually are, and not as they are commonly perceived.
