Let me sign up for the next digital course.

Let me read the next book.

without taking great information and then executing on it and making it automatic and a part of your way of being.

I think often what we do is we pick up these escapes to avoid dealing with our wounds and our limitations and looking in the mirror.

And self-help can be an addiction that causes us to avoid dealing with reality.

Yes.

What I'm saying is our society has almost told us not to feel.

And so, Rangan, what we do is we are a species that live in our heads.

And if you live in your head, well, then you're going to have war and selfishness and egoism.

But if you have a strong head, Nelson Mandela said it well.

He said a strong heart and a clear head is a formidable combination.

So positive thinking is absolutely important.

But before that, let's say someone's going through a divorce, an illness, a loss.

If you just shift, like the positive thinking books say, shift to positive thinking, do your gratitude lists and be happy, happy, happy.

But you've got a broken heart.

So what I'm suggesting, and it's contrary to society, and now, of course, people are suggesting it now, which is wonderful, but I'm suggesting if you have a broken heart, don't run away from it, run into it.

Alanis Morissette, old song, quick's way out is in.

So go into the broken heart.

And I've had a broken heart.

And what I've learned is pain is an incredible purifier.
