And now let’s jump into episode 1750 of The School of Greatness! 

Some Questions I Ask:

• “What are a few of the psychological skills that humans should master if they want more peace and abundance in their life?”
• “Where in your relationship have you had to question your own assumptions of being right about something?”
• “What are the psychological skills or emotional skills that you have now learned or improved upon eight years later that you didn’t have at the beginning of the marriage?”
• “If someone doesn’t learn the skill of self-awareness, what is available on the other side if they don’t learn that skill?”
• “What is the advice in the self-help world right now that you think people should ignore?”
• “Being 40 now, what is the skill you think you’re going to need to learn to master for the next 40 years of your life?”

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why self-awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence and how to develop it when your mind is actively trying to deceive you
• How to receive critical feedback without taking it personally by separating your identity from your actions
• The psychological skill of creating boundaries that free you from people-pleasing while maintaining meaningful relationships
• Why acceptance—not trying to change others—is the secret to long-lasting intimate relationships
• How to leverage confirmation bias (what some call “manifestation”) to achieve your goals in a practical, science-backed way
• Plus much more…
