“Human nature dictates that it is virtually impossible to accept advice from someone unless you feel that that person understands you.”

Which is why it’s so important to have close relationships, even though all long-term relationships are fraught with challenges. It also explains why advice is rarely taken, and we would do well to consider more listening in our relationships, and less prescribing.

This podcast focuses on self-exploration and personal identity -- to help you construct who you are, and how you want to feel, think, believe, and behave for yourself. The book Who Do You Think You Are is also available at all major e-retailers, and you can find it at bigselfschool.com/store. Check out our two-hour classes on how to build resiliency, how to discover what you want, how to like yourself more, how to find calm, how to bounce forward after failure, and many more at bigselfschool.com.
