Podcasts about Openness

Once per set I try to explore some new data concepts and try to give you, the viewer, some insight into the research process while trying to answer some questions related to limited Magic that interest me. This week episode is all about openness in draft lanes - something Final Fantasy was mage for as a very well balanced set. And this led me to a new concept - negative space win rates. How does not having a card in your deck impact the win rate. And how is it different from not drawing a card you have in your deck in a game. -Ping me for coaching.

In this episode Hazel is joined Tim Adams, a peak performance coach with extensive experience across various fields, including professional sports, the military, and business. Tim shares his personal journey, from his childhood dreams of playing in the NFL to overcoming significant challenges. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Importance of Perspective: Gaining a broader perspective is crucial for personal and professional growth. By exploring different viewpoints and experiences, individuals can break free from limiting beliefs and achieve greater success. Inner Work and Self-Discovery: True performance and success stem from doing inner work and understanding oneself. This involves facing personal challenges and shadows, which can lead to profound transformation and a more fulfilling life. Hustle vs. Harmony: While the hustle and grind mentality may be necessary at the beginning of one's career, true success comes from finding harmony and flow in life. This balance allows for sustainable growth and enjoyment in both personal and professional realms. Value of Relationships: Success is not just about individual achievements; it also involves nurturing relationships with family and friends. Acknowledging and prioritizing these connections is essential for overall well-being and fulfillment. Openness to Different Beliefs: Embracing diverse perspectives and being open to conversations about spirituality and personal beliefs can enrich one's understanding of the world. This openness fosters acceptance and allows for deeper connections with others. BEST MOMENTS "Life isn't happening to you. Life is happening for you and ultimately the place you want to get to is life is happening through you and from you." - Tim Adams "The sooner you can get your lesson, the sooner you can understand why this is happening for me, is the sooner I can start to now create the world in which I ultimately want to live in." - Tim Adams "There's a rhythm and a cycle for everything, and you do it while always having one eye on what you're currently doing and the other on the future you." - Tim Adams "I believe that the quickest way to improve the human condition is by touching the hearts, the minds, and the souls of leaders who can touch thousands, millions, maybe even billions of people." - Tim Adams "The hustle and grind mentality is required for the lower levels.

Nicknamed now, The Wealth Whisperer, she has a unique way of getting to the crux of what is needed to help fulfil this quest.

According to studies, people tend to be happier, healthier, and more successful when they have a balance of the “Big Five” personality traits:  Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. But can we change our personalities to suit? Olga Khazan is an award-winning journalist and staff writer at The Atlantic covering science, health, and psychology. In her book ME, BUT BETTER: The Science and Promise of Personality Change, she reveals the science behind lasting personality change, and how anyone, at any age, can seize the reigns of their destiny.

When you're open, life feels beautiful and joyful; when you're closed, everything seems wrong. This leaves you with two choices: find things that open you or find out how not to close. The first leads to a life of struggling with people, places, and things to match your preferences, while the second leads to the spiritual state of unconditional well-being. Make your choice. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.

In this thought-provoking solo episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, Amy Wheeler explores the profound topic of safety in human relationships, drawing from recent co-creative discussions with seasoned therapists and yoga practitioners, as well as insights from Polyvagal Theory.Episode Highlights:The Foundation of Healing: Amy emphasizes that safety—both internal and external—is the essential foundation for healing, transformation, and authentic human connection.The Role of Nonjudgment: A central theme of this episode is how nonjudgmental presence, both in therapy and daily life, fosters safety and allows people to open up and be themselves.Artificial Intelligence & Safety: Amy reflects on the surprising role AI therapy bots play in creating a nonjudgmental space, and what this teaches us about human interaction.Key Qualities that Foster Safety:Comfort with silence and emotional presence.Ability to repair ruptures in relationships, not just avoid them.Unconditional positive regard without creating stories about others.Transparency balanced with cultural sensitivity.Openness to new experiences and flexibility in thinking.Clear and honest communication that eliminates guesswork.Self-awareness and the ability to reflect and take responsibility.Consistency, calm regulation, and respect for time and commitments.Attunement to the emotional state of others, with empathetic mirroring.A melodic, regulated voice that supports co-regulation.Genuine listening that seeks to understand, not just respond.Familiar rituals and environments that offer predictable support.Respect for diverse perspectives and willingness to stand up for justice.Key Takeaways:Safety isn't just about avoiding harm; it's about creating conditions where authenticity, trust, and transformation can thrive.Even positive judgments can feel like evaluations, reducing the sense of safety in a relationship.Sacredness in connection—showing up mentally, emotionally, and spiritually prepared—amplifies the healing potential of every interaction.Resources Mentioned:Polyvagal Theory – A framework for understanding how safety and social engagement are wired into our nervous system.Book Recommendation: Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud – Understanding when and how to bring closure to relationships in a healthy way.Connect with Amy Wheeler: For more episodes, resources, and information about Yoga Therapy, visit TheOptimalState.comSupport the Show: If you found value in this episode, please rate, review, and share it with others who may benefit from these insights into creating safer, more authentic relationships.Master of Science in Yoga Therapy https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/master-of-science-in-yoga-therapy/ Explore MUIH's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals.  https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices/ Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at MUIH: https://muih.edu/academics/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification/

In this special episode, Rob Hawkes joins Scott Ferguson and Will Beaman to discuss his new article “(Un)conditional Openness: Towards a Neochartalist Theory of Money and Trust,” which was recently published in Money on the Left: History, Theory, Practice. The conversation traces the development of Rob's long-standing interest in theories of trust from his doctoral research in literary studies towards an increasing fascination with the topic of money which eventually led him to MMT, neochartalism and the Money on the Left project. Rob recalls a jarring moment when, having become excited by the possibility of bringing MMT into his research on literature and trust, he realised that some neochartalists reject the idea that money is trust-based. Determined to think this relationship through in greater depth, Rob's article reaches the conclusion that neochartalism demands a re-theorisation of the concept of trust itself. In this wide-ranging conversation, Rob, Scott, and Will work through some of the key moves the article makes, including the problematisation of barter-like theories of “calculative trust,” its consideration of the connection between trust and vulnerability, and the way trusting blurs the distinction between conditionality and unconditionality (as alluded to in the article's title). Finally, the discussion addresses links between trust, the university (as an institution), and the uni currency proposal, and situates Rob's work within the heterodox and heterogeneous interdisciplinary academic, para-academic, and extra-academic field that is contemporary neochartalism.Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Over the course of the summer, we will be sharing with you some stories, thoughts, and encouragements from our staff on each continent around the globe. This week, we will be sharing testimonies from North America! I have heard many wary Christians doubt whether anyone is open to the Gospel here in the United States. We have seen Christians at our Equip America events start the day saying, "I'm scared...I don't want to go out." But then at the end, they will be saying something like, "We need to do this every day! Our whole church needs to be a part of this!" Because the truth is, sharing our faith is not as scary as we think it will be, and more people are open to hearing it than we imagine. In fact, we did a study with Lifeway Research that found that sixty-six percent of Americans are open to having a conversation about faith. So let's get started. If you need help in sharing your faith, we're here to help! Visit our website at sharelife.today.

I was recently sitting in one of my Change Leadership classes for my Master's degree in Organizational Leadership, and my teacher asked us, “What would it look like if, as change leaders, we were to suspend certainty more often?”  I immediately made a note to myself, “podcast episode on suspending certainty!”  As someone who craves certainty but understands that nothing is certain, I often think about becoming more comfortable with impermanence.  I've never heard this referred to as “suspending certainty”, but this term struck me, and I knew I wanted to dig into it with you all!   In this episode, we talk about the importance of suspending certainty in leadership and personal growth. We talk through the benefits of embracing uncertainty, including: Increased curiosity Access to new perspectives Openness to learning and new opportunities Increased surprise, delight, and joy Gifts that come when we step out of our “I got it all figured out” ego Resilience, resourcefulness, tenacity, creativity, fun, and JOY are all born out of figuring out new things, embracing new realities, letting go of the old, and stepping into new opportunities where we don't know exactly how things will go.  What might happen for you if you felt prepared to step into uncertainty at any time?  Suspending certainty will help you with this preparation.  Episode Highlights: 00:00 Introduction and Exciting Updates 03:35 The Concept of Suspending Certainty 04:03 Understanding the Gifts of Suspending Certainty 11:10 Benefits of Embracing Uncertainty 20:10 Navigating Personal and Collective Uncertainty 30:30 Conclusion and Upcoming Workshop Links Mentioned: Attend my free workshop for women small business owners, Focused and Fierce: Lead with Purpose and Build Your Business in a Noisy World: saradean.com/fierce Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

In this companion to my conversation with Joshin Byrnes on The Vowing Mind, here's a short practice of seeing those you love—and those you judge—with fresh eyes.We all carry fixed ideas of who others are: the reliable one, the difficult one, the person we think we've got dialed. In this guided meditation, you'll be encouraged to loosen those ideas, and to meet others anew, with curiosity and compassion.This practice will help you recognize the complexity and unfolding nature of those around you—their strengths and struggles, the systems that shaped them, and the mystery beyond what we think we know.You'll experience: – A short grounding and breath awareness – An inquiry into see someone you love as whole, dynamic, and unknowable – A closing invitation to meet them again and again with curiosity.Whether you're working with a loved one or someone you find challenging, this practice offers a potent return to presence and reconnection. ✨ You can listen to this practice before or after the Joshin Byrnes episode on The Vowing Mind, or return to it anytime you want to meet another human being more freshly.

Can pricing really build trust?Absolutely. And if you've ever hesitated to share your prices or felt unsure about how much to show and when, this episode will help you reframe that hesitation.In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of pricing transparency—what it really means, and why it matters more than many service-based businesses realize. We'll explore the surprising connection between how you present your prices and how much your clients trust you. You'll hear why a lack of clarity can backfire, and how too much information can overwhelm rather than inform.I'll walk you through the five most common challenges business owners face when it comes to sharing their pricing, from fear of scaring clients off to concerns about competitors snooping around. I've seen it all—and I know how deeply personal pricing can feel.But this isn't about baring it all or “being totally open no matter what.” It's about finding your version of transparency—one that aligns with your business model and supports your value. You'll learn three key strategies that will help you clarify your message and feel more confident when talking about prices.Plus, I'll give you a simple self-audit you can do in just 10 minutes to see how transparent your pricing really is—and whether it's helping or hindering your sales process.If you've ever felt awkward in pricing conversations, unsure about listing prices on your site, or stuck in “how much is too much,” this episode is going to give you clarity and a fresh sense of direction.

How do you build a high-performance culture without turning your company into the Hunger Games? Reed Hastings, co-founder and former CEO of Netflix, shares lessons from a career spent rewriting the rules—from severance as a management tool to “big-hearted champions who pick up the trash.” In this episode, he reveals how Netflix scaled trust, made bold bets before the data was in, and kept its edge by treating employees like adults—not assets. You'll hear how Hastings evaluates talent beyond the interview, the reason he avoids performance improvement plans, and what most leaders misunderstand about judgment, feedback, and innovation.  You'll also hear why he placed a $100 million bet on House of Cards with no pilot, how Drive to Survive changed an entire sport, and why Squid Game caught even Netflix by surprise.  Now focused on a new chapter—owning a ski mountain, reshaping education through AI tutors, and supporting charter schools—Hastings is still doing what he does best: building systems that scale culture, not just product.  If you care about performance without politics—or culture without the clichés—this is a blueprint from one of the clearest thinkers in modern business.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: (3:09) Powder Mountain, Skiing Industry, & Buying a Mountain (6:36) Setting Culture in an Organization (9:21) Hiring Process and Evaluating Candidates (14:24) Netflix's 2009 Slide Deck Release (16:26) Talent Density and Performance Culture (17:59) Loyalty and Team Building (19:56) Severance Packages (22:17) Process Vs.

In this episode of The Inquisitor Podcast, host Marcus Cauchi speaks with Michael Davis-Marks, a veteran of the Royal Navy who commanded a nuclear-powered submarine and now focuses on leadership development and advocating for the veteran community. They discuss decision-making under pressure, the unique transferable skills veterans bring to civilian life, and the critical differences between traditional and effective leadership models like servant leadership. The conversation highlights the importance of training, teamwork, delegation, building trust, and fostering a culture where people feel valued and empowered to do their best work. Michael Davis-Marks: Spent 36 years in the Royal Navy, primarily as a submariner, including commanding a nuclear-powered submarine. Served in the British Embassy during 9-11. Since leaving the Navy 13 years ago, he has focused on leadership development and culture. He is also the managing editor of TheVeteran.uk, a publication that gives voice to the veteran community. His mission is to amplify the lived experience of veterans, challenge outdated stereotypes, and advocate for what armed forces veterans can offer to organisations, employers, and society. Key Discussion Points: Veterans as a Valuable Asset: Veterans possess extraordinary transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork, discipline, and commitment, which can be enormously helpful to organisations and society as a whole. There are approximately 2.2 million veterans in the UK, about a million of whom are of working age, representing a significant pool of talent. Challenging Stereotypes: The common stereotype of military people as "Colonel Blimp" or a "shouty sergeant" is inaccurate for the vast majority of veterans. Veteran Mindset: Many veterans, including Michael, don't initially realise how much they have to offer civilian life due to a self-effacing mindset developed through military training that prioritises the team over the individual. Decision Making Under Stress: The military trains individuals to remain calm and think clearly in high-pressure situations. The ability to make good decisions under stress is crucial and can be developed through training and building resilience. Leadership Defined: Leadership is not about telling people what to do. It's about motivating and inspiring people, helping them become better versions of themselves. Servant Leadership: This model posits that the leader is there to serve the people subordinate to them, helping them realise their full potential. It's about looking after the people in your charge, not just being in charge. Delegation vs. Abdication: Leaders who spend their time "doing" are stealing learning opportunities and growth from their people. Empowering people to work things out for themselves, rather than always providing the answer, is crucial for development. Michael's rule was "don't bring me problems, bring me solutions". Allowing people to "have a go," even if they make mistakes in a safe environment, fosters learning. Creating Conditions for Trust: Trust begins with the leader's self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and empathy. It is developed by assigning low-risk tasks initially, being a mentor and coach, gently nudging rather than directing, and providing encouragement and positive feedback. Leadership is Trainable: While some may be "born leaders," leadership skills can be taught and developed through training and practical experience. Openness to feedback and the realisation that one is not perfect are key to improvement. The Staircase of Learning: This concept describes the progression from unconscious incompetence (not knowing what you don't know) through conscious incompetence and conscious competence to unconscious competence (second nature). Training and repetition are critical to moving through these stages and building resilience. Continuous Improvement: In the military, standard operating procedures were changed "all the time" because you can't stand still; "every day is a school day". Agility of thought is essential because plans often don't survive first contact. The Leader's Role: The leader's job is to create the conditions for their people to do their best work. Delegating tasks to competent people allows the leader to step back, maintain a strategic view, and avoid becoming a bottleneck or single point of failure. The Importance of People: People are the most important asset in any organisation, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Treat them as people. A high staff retention rate is often a sign of a happy and well-led company. People frequently leave jobs because of their boss, particularly if the boss prevents them from doing their best work. Beating people does not improve morale. Advice for New Managers: "Get Off Your Arse" (GOYA) is crucial advice. New managers should spend their initial time listening, walking around, asking curious questions about what people do, what they like/dislike, and what can be improved. Taking notes shows you are listening and helps you remember. Getting out and talking to people makes them feel important and that they belong. This approach should be routine, not just for the first few days. Lesson for a Younger Self: Michael would tell his 23-year-old self that he knows much less than he thinks and is surrounded by people who can help. He would advise working on relationships with others to learn and grow together as a team, emphasising that people are the most important aspect in everything.

What does it mean to keep showing up when life changes your body, your voice, your sense of self? Dr. Phil Schneider has spent a lifetime helping people find their voice. But when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, he found himself on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, learning how to live with a tremor, navigate shame, and reclaim agency in a body that no longer behaved the way it used to. In this episode, Uri sits down with his father, mentor, master clinician, and co-founder of Schneider Speech, for one of the most personal and moving conversations on the podcast to date. Together, they explore Phil's decades of work helping people find their voice, and how his understanding of communication deepened through his own health journey. What helped him move forward wasn't hiding. It was naming the tremor, talking about it with family, and choosing connection over shame. Opening up was the moment he began reclaiming agency. Resilience didn't come from isolation. It came from letting people in. This episode is full of warmth, story, and hard-earned wisdom on voice, vulnerability, and what it really means to be present with another human being. In this episode on connection and resilience, you'll discover: How a nonverbal girl found her voice on stage and transformed Phil's career What Parkinson's taught Phil about stuttering, shame, and self-acceptance Why communication is about connection, not correction How being seen is more healing than being “fixed” The hidden cost of hiding, and the freedom of naming what's hard How moments of presence can shape the course of a life And more invaluable insights TIMESTAMPS 01:10 Meet Dr. Phil Schneider: A Legacy in Communication 03:03 How His Career in Speech Therapy Began 08:54 Learning from a Student: A First Encounter with Stuttering 13:38 The Power of Belief: How Gladys Found Her Voice 17:09 Connecting Through Communication 26:22 Teaching, Mentorship, and Shaping Future Therapists 29:29 Why Emotions Matter in the Therapy Room 30:39 Transformative Voice Therapy 34:35 Shame, Parkinson's, and the Cost of Hiding 36:54 Openness, Vulnerability, and Reclaiming Agency 48:29 The Heart of Therapy: Growth Through Honest Connection 53:57 What Parents and Young Adults Need to Hear 57:06 Final Thoughts and Reflections ABOUT THE GUEST Phil Schneider, Ed.D.

But I've started to wonder—what if those very mistakes could be the secret sauce to creating relatable, engaging, and transformative storytelling?

This episode comes straight from the heart. No filters—just real conversation about what it means to show up. We talk about the power of giving without expecting anything in return… and the humbling experience of learning how to receive. We explore purpose, faith, taking bold steps into the unknown, and the kind of seeds we all plant with the way we treat people. If you've ever wrestled with what it looks like to bet on yourself, live with intention, or stay open to life's curveballs, this one's for you....Five takeaways from this episode:  Giving is Easy. Receiving Takes Work.Most high-achievers are natural givers—but learning to receive with humility and openness is just as important. You can't pour into others forever without being willing to let others pour into you.Purpose Leads the Way.Making bold moves—especially when the future is unclear—gets a whole lot easier when you're anchored in your core values and purpose. Purpose doesn't always come with a map, but it gives you the courage to keep moving forward. Stay Curious and Ask Better Questions.Curiosity is a superpower. Whether you're connecting with others, leading a team, or just navigating daily life, asking great questions opens doors to deeper relationships and unexpected opportunities. Abundance is a Mindset.Living from a place of abundance—not fear or scarcity—makes it easier to make tough decisions, try new things, and keep your eyes open for the good around you. What you focus on, you find.Bring Your Glove.Be ready for connection. Be ready to give. Be ready to receive. Life is like a game of catch—those who come prepared, stay engaged, and remain open to the tosses and returns are the ones who grow.... One truthThe way you consistently show up for others will determine who shows up for you when it matters most. That's the harvest. Keep planting.

Meditation Transitions in Workplace Wellness In this episode, Jillian and Michael share their journeys from corporate careers to prioritizing meditation and workplace wellness. Jillian, a former publishing company owner, discovered the power of meditation in preventing burnout and made it her mission to teach others. Michael, a healthcare leader turned workplace culture strategist, shifted his focus to addressing burnout at its root. They explore how meditation has become a vital tool for maintaining work-life balance, especially in today's demanding professional landscape. Youth Stress and Chronic Illness Michael and Jillian dive into the rising stress levels among Millennials and Gen Z, discussing how anxiety and chronic stress are manifesting in younger generations. Michael raises concerns about premature aging trends, while Jillian highlights how a “tired but wired” nervous system can lead to panic, paralysis, and long-term health consequences. They emphasize the need for internal solutions—like meditation and self-reflection—over quick external fixes. Jillian also notes the growing prevalence of chronic illnesses among young people, a trend that could impact overall life expectancy. Openness to Change and Personal Growth Change is inevitable, but embracing it is a choice. Jillian discusses the importance of recognizing when we're ready for transformation, while Michael highlights self-reflection as a key driver of personal growth. He stresses that we have more control over our circumstances than we often believe. Together, they reinforce the idea that prioritizing personal well-being isn't selfish—it positively impacts everyone around us. Growth and change, they agree, are essential for both individual fulfillment and societal progress. Meditation as a Daily Reset Tool Jillian introduces her book Do Reset, which redefines meditation as a practical daily reset rather than a complex practice.

Jeannette examines the essential elements of creating a positive organisational culture, outlining 10 transformative steps to help listeners assess and cultivate the culture they desire. From defining core values and embedding culture into everyday practices to celebrating successes and fostering community, each point emphasises the importance of authenticity, purpose, and open communication Jeannette explains why: Establishing clear core values is essential as they set the foundation for the desired culture within an organisation. Values should reflect what you want to be known for and guide behaviours and decisions. Culture should be integrated into every aspect of the organisation, from recruitment and onboarding to product development and client interactions. Creating an environment where team members feel comfortable expressing themselves and providing feedback is crucial. Openness fosters creativity and ensures that everyone feels heard and valued. Recognising and celebrating both small and large achievements within the team helps to build morale and reinforces a positive culture. Simple acts of gratitude can have a significant impact.

Is luck something that simply happens to us, or can we actually influence how lucky we are?In this episode, Elizabeth Mintun draws on insights from psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman's decade-long study on the nature of luck. She explores how lucky people think, act, and respond to life differently - and how you might do the same. Elizabeth also shares a personal story from her winding career path that illustrates how what can look like “bad luck” might really be a redirection in disguise.Key Takeaways: Research has shown that our brains filter our perception of opportunities that come our way (confirmation and negativity bias). Openness, emotional flexibility, and mindfulness can possibly increase your chances of “lucky breaks”.Different cultures offer unique perspectives on luck, from qi and harmony to being in right relationship with the natural world. A practice for the next week could be to approach each day as if something beautiful is about to happen. Stay open, follow a nudge, say yes to a gentle stretch, and see what unfolds.ResourcesLearn more or inquire about Inner Compass Coaching: www.thecalmingground.com

#602: Ever looked back at an old Facebook post and cringed? According to Olga Khazan, staff writer at The Atlantic, that discomfort is evidence of something powerful: your personality has changed, even if you didn't notice it happening. In our latest episode, Khazan, who recently wrote a book on the science of personality change, breaks down how our personalities aren't fixed traits but flexible characteristics we can intentionally shift to achieve our goals. The conversation centers on the "Big Five" personality traits — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism (OCEAN) — and how they impact financial success and career advancement. If you work a regular 9-to-5, personality development can boost your career trajectory. Khazan highlights that conscientiousness — being organized, timely and detail-oriented — directly correlates with workplace success.  She suggests decluttering both your physical space and your commitments to increase productivity.  For introverts navigating office politics, she recommends "cosplaying as an extrovert" by signing up for regular group activities that are hard to back out of. Over time, social interactions become less draining, creating more opportunities for advancement.  And when engaging with colleagues, focus on asking meaningful questions about their experiences rather than collecting basic facts — this builds genuine connections that can lead to promotions and new opportunities. If you're intimidated by new financial ventures like entrepreneurship or real estate investing, Khazan suggests learning from others who've succeeded in similar situations. Research shows you're more likely to implement strategies when you learn them from peers rather than experts.  When discussing successful entrepreneurs, Khazan reveals they typically share three key traits: high extraversion (energy for interacting with others), low agreeableness (ability to make tough decisions), and low neuroticism (emotional stability for risk-taking).  Think Steve Jobs — not always the nicest person, but his combination of vision, decisiveness and comfort with risk built one of the world's most valuable companies. The most important takeaway? Never tell yourself you can't do something because "that's just not who you are." Instead, take small daily steps toward your goal, and you'll gradually develop the personality traits needed for success.

This is a selection of non-dual pointers taken from Jean Klein's text, "Transmission of the Flame".Jean Klein (October 19, 1912 – February 22, 1998) was a French author, spiritual teacher and philosopher of Advaita Vedanta (Nondualism). He was born in Berlin and spent his childhood in Brno and Prague. Having left Germany in 1933 for France, he secretly worked with the French Resistance in the Second World War. Klein was a musicologist and doctor, traveled to India where he was influenced by Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon, studied Kashmir Shaivism and was sent to the West to teach Advaita Vedanta. He is regarded as one most eloquent communicators of non-duality in the second half of the 20th century.
