Summary

Criticism is an unavoidable part of life. But even though we’re all going to be criticized from time to time, many of us spend much of our lives living in fear of criticism. Then, on the flip side, we’re all critics from time to time ourselves. On this episode Dr. Rick and Forrest focus on how we can get better at receiving and giving criticism, learn to accept what lies outside of our control, and avoid the “mood of complaint.”

1:01.8	And then finally, I really enjoyed this one.
1:04.2	This would be a lot better if Forest relaxed a lot and stopped croaking into the back
