Doing it Right: The Stories that Make Us

“To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” - Socrates
How can you know what you are “called” to do and who you are “called” to be?
Gregg Levoy, the former behavioral specialist at USA Today and a regular contributor for Psychology Today, strikes right to the soul as he sharpens our senses to cut through the distractions of everyday life and hear the calls that are beckoning us.
If you think that’s difficult – you’re right! Gregg simplifies and targets how to satisfy our longings to make a difference – for ourselves and others.
Top Takeaways:
- Curiosity is a SUPERPOWER
- As Socrates says, “know thyself.” Make it a habit to practice ongoing self-
reflection.
- The key to EI is your ability to manage paradox. To hold the tension
between opposing ideas.
