Hello and welcome to the Mark Rove's podcast.

You know, I always think that when we're ready, right?

There's that saying, when we're ready, the teacher arrives.

And this is always true for people I mean and conversations I have. They just happen to have the words

in the right order that I need to hear something that validates or reaffirms or opens a window or a door

to a perspective that I might not have seen. We have to be willing to see perspectives, right? We have to be

willing to learn. We have to find willing to see perspectives, right? We have to be willing to learn.

We have to find humility, the ability to admit that we can do things better or differently

or whatever it might be, you know, this opportunity to broaden one's mind, to broaden

one's perspective, to broaden one's possibility really is what that does.

Whenever you learn new perspectives, whenever you learn something new, you are expanded in that

moment.

And you know, when I originally started studying positive psychology, I was just so drawn to it

because psychology as a, I mean, it truly expanded me. Positive psychology truly

broadened what I thought was possible. And the creation of it was the broadening of what was

possible. You know, psychology historically was about studying what's wrong with people. Why

do we have a certain quote-unquote dysfunction?

And how do we make it better? How do we heal it? How do we fix it? And that just didn't really

sit right in that sort of context with me. Obviously, I love psychology. I love the study of

human nature, of human behavior, of human connection.

It's honestly, it's my favorite subject.

I think it's everybody's favorite subject.
