We all have tough relationships. And we usually ask questions about them like, “Why are they doing this to me?” Or, “Why are they acting so badly?” In my 2nd TEDxTalk, I ask, what if it’s not them, but you? That is, whether or not you’re the reason for the difficulty in the relationship, you can still be the reason for the solution. I call this idea "The 50 75 100 Solution", and you can learn about it in this video from TEDxSevilleSq at https://lnkd.in/d6h7ciN.

I recently finished reading 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan Peterson, and it's easily one of the most impactful self-help books I've found. The book blends timeless wisdom with practical advice, being a powerful guide to navigating the complexities and difficulties of life. Each rule has deep philosophical insights and psychological truths, encouraging the reader to embrace responsibility, seek meaning, and build order out of chaos. Jordan Peterson's unique perspective combines ancient wisdom with modern science, making it a thought-provoking read.It is rich with references to influential thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Jung and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. This book helps you grasp a deeper understanding of human nature and a commitment to personal growth. Big fan of Jordan Peterson 🙌
