Quotes

  • I don’t think there’s any skill more critical for success than resilience...I think about resilience as the speed and strength of your response to adversity.
  • Generosity is not a loan to repay or a debt to settle. It's a gift to appreciate. You reciprocate a favor by paying it back. You honor an act of kindness by paying it forward.
  • Young kids have wider circles of concern than adults. Adults expect people to enjoy the misfortune of groups they dislike. But 3-5-year-olds expect people to care about everyone's suffering. Compassion is an instinct—we don't have to learn it. We need to stop unlearning it.
  • Think like a scientist: treat your opinions as hypotheses and decisions as experiments.
  • Embrace confident humility: argue like you’re right, listen like you’re wrong.
  • Time doesn't heal psychological wounds. Perspective does...Time creates distance. Reflection offers wisdom.
