And that's why I say so many of these super communicators, they are people who have these periods where they were bad at communication.
So they felt like they had to pay more attention to it.
They had to study how it works.
Yeah.
Well, and so what I love about that is that you've changed the definition of success.
And I think that gets back to why that year after Power of Habit came out was so hard for me, is that oftentimes when we go into a conversation,
We think that the point of a conversation, the definition of success is to like convince the other person of something, right?
Or to like win the conversation or to prove that I'm right or to feel smart, to look smart.
And the real point of a conversation is simply to understand the other person.
It's not to agree with each other.
If you and I differ on gun control or fortune or something like that,
We're not going to convince each other, but if I understand what you're saying and you feel listened to, and if you understand what I'm saying and I feel listened to, then that conversation is a success.
Wow.
The same way that going into a club and trying to learn to salsa dance, the definition of success is not that the...
the best answer in that place is yes, right away.
The definition of success is that you asked seven different people and six of them turned you down and you persisted.
Exactly.
Or that like after writing a book and winning this prize that my definition of success was doing work I'm proud of every day, regardless of whether it's going to win a prize or anyone's going to read it, doing work that feels meaningful to me.
When we find the right definition of success, it's not hard to align how to achieve it.
It's just that oftentimes we haven't thought more deeply enough about what success actually means for us.
