NOTABLE QUOTES:

"Rock bottom is a great foundation on which to build."

"Life can either happen to you, or life could happen for you."

"If something challenging is happening in my life, if I get upset about it in some way, is it going to change it in any way? And if it's not… never do I give it any sort of mental or emotional energy anymore. It's not gonna change the result."

"It's very important to understand the power of the words that we use."

"Never split the difference around negotiation. What you need to do is not ask why in any negotiation or any conversation. It's asking what. And it's asking how."

"Habits create everything that we do as people. Everything we do is a habit."

"Don't try to change an entire habit. Just hack the habit in a different way."

"There's always pain in life, and you have to choose which pain you want. There's the pain of change and there's the pain of staying the same. When the pain of change becomes less than the pain of staying the same, then things change."

"Relationships are the most important thing. They are the greatest currency that we have."

"Writing down how you're feeling around the emotional side of things is gonna really help your relationships to flourish."
