Emotional Intelligence for Critical Thinkers
Do you trust your gut? Do you want to?
In segment one, I share how I almost got conned by a store clerk and how I used my instinct to keep from getting deceived (and calling him out at the same time).
[Read more…]Do you blame everyone else for what happens to you in your life?
In segment one, I argue that even when everything that goes wrong in your life is someone else’s fault, you can still get the results you want by doing one thing: Accepting responsibility for your role in what happens to you.

He is showing up as that authentic person he’s always wanted to be and things are happening for him in a way that never has.

In segment one of today’s show, I read a letter from a woman who can’t get her husband’s ex-wife out of her mind. How do you get rid of consistent, unwelcome thoughts like this?
