00:00 Arguments are people speaking past each other; habitual responses

03:39 Why sati is so valuable; being alert for arguments; raised voices

08:18 Surviving criticism; dukkha interpreted as original sin

12:46 Wanting; clinging; drawing to ourselves the things we are afraid of; investigation

16:09 Checking for unwholesome thoughts; pecking order

21:30 Wake up and look at what we’re doing; recognising patterns; sankhāra and criticism

27:00 Become friends with yourself and then with other people

31:50 Wake up, look at what we’re doing, make a change, and congratulate ourself

32:47 Getting distance; that’s not who I am now

35:26 Life becomes a shiny new toy

39:15 How did I make it like this? Practice before we get out of bed; it feels good to be awake
