What has helped me is to not try to convince anybody to do what I'm doing and to really try and learn.
I've learned to let my little obsessions not have any or really much impact on the people around me.
And I've learned that the hard way by...
making a lot of dumb decisions or proselytizing to my wife or, you know, getting so into meditation that I would commit so much time to it that I was taking away time from the family.
