| Sometimes instead of trying to strip down your own natural behaviors, and learn more, it is good to strip down the layers society, parents, peers etc. have caked on us. To un-learn... the BS expectations, who we "should" be, what we "should" be doing, what "success' is etc. Because I also have co-m... |

The work of Byron Katie has helped tremendousl... |
