Why really smart people still make bad decisions:

A few years ago, I was leading a retreat and helping someone process their anger. But I kept failing at it. Nothing I did worked.
Then, someone who I had just helped on their anger went over, and helped this person break through in less than 30 seconds.

The most dangerous decisions aren't the risky ones.
They're the ones we make to avoid feeling something - whether it’s a fear of failure, rejection, or guilt.

People often get confused when I tell them that all they need to do is “feel” in order to stop their bad habits.
Think of your bad habits as a hot frying pans. How do you drop a hot frying pan?
You feel it. That’s all.
Feel it fully, and you will let go.

I was told that I was smart from a young age, but I didn’t recognize that I was cognitively intelligent until the age of 35.
I was lucky, because I didn’t latch onto it and make it my identity. By the time I recognized it, I saw intelligence the same way I saw hair color — a feature, but not me.
