- How the appearance that we are a separate limited self arises and causes our suffering

- How we are all the same, but that doesn't mean we have to condone all behaviours

- What does this understanding mean for contemporary societal issues, like mental health or dementia 

- An example of how low Quality of Mind might turn up in a meeting at work

- What is the approach for Quality of Mind in businesses? Going from upstream 'before psychology' self inquiry, to day to day business relevance

- The most common comment people make - 'I wish I had seen this before' - how this understanding gets better the more and more you see it!
