The world is at war because our souls are at war.

We will never have world peace until we have inner peace.

Peace is something you have to fight for.

People recover quickly not because their bodies are stronger, but because their minds are stronger.

What is strengthening Erwin right now.

I knew depression was an epidemic, but I didn't know that it was a crisis.

As long as you are curious about people and care about making things better you're always going to learn and see the world in a new way.

Jeremy's advice for developing creativity.

Ideas lead to ideas.

The more you surrender and give up, the more you are shutting creativity down.

My goal isn't to look cool, but to make a difference.

We should never underestimate the ability to help through the arts.

How to make fuzzy concepts accessible.

Self-awareness is the will and the skill to know who you are and how others see you.

Two Types of Self-Awareness

It's way easier to talk about how unself-aware others are than to become more self-aware ourselves.

There is no positive outcome that self-awareness doesn't put into motion.

95% of us believe we are self-aware, but only 10-15% actually are.

The barriers to self-awareness.

It's always better to focus your energy on building your self-awareness and success than it is to try to make other people more self-aware.

How to become internally self-aware

How to become externally self-aware

How to become more self-aware as a team

How to deal with a delusional person

Don't assume that the more you learn, the less there is for you to know.
