Summary

Today we explore the importance of critical thinking and decision-making in everyday life. We discuss the former college experience, which fostered resilience and a strong anti-victim mentality, There is evidence that the current emphasis on comfort and feelings in colleges has swung the pendulum too far, hindering personal growth and emotional maturation. I share a powerful story about the significance of a seemingly simple act, offering a tissue to a client in a counseling session. This act challenged the notion of empowerment and highlighted the complexities of human connection and vulnerability. I explain the nuances of societal messaging, the limitations of scientific evidence, and the importance of trusting one's intuition in navigating life's challenges. Learn more about your ad choices.
