"You can't hate yourself into being better." - this is a lesson I am only just understanding.

This has been one of the profoundest episodes of the School of Greatness series!! There is so much value for self development, families and relationships, all laid out in clear terms. Thanks very much. Lewis. You’re a fantastic interviewer. Greetings from Nigeria 🇳🇬

That last answer! “What is greatness?” - am I a safe place for my loved ones to land!? Does your family WANT to come home to you?- This is so powerful ❤. This would be greatness. I have not had that kind of peace in my own home for so long.

It seems to me that wife really has it together, I love that he always gives her the credit for those turning points.

[shirleyvargas]

Honestly one of the best videos ever about relationships and self. There was no hate or blaming one sex or another. The woke culture, cancel culture, and red pill culture all promote hate. This video is refreshing and soothing to the soul. I can take this home and digest it with love and comfort.

[fernanda]

I love this! I’m so grateful you interviewed Dr. John. It’s like two gems talking gems.

Thanks Lewis!

"Anxiety is a smoke alarm in your kitchen" 👊❤ Yes! Love this analogy. And those of us with Anxiety are the smoke detectors.

'You're supposed to be broken-hearted when you lose someone you loved.' Being judged for grieving. Was married for 37 years and knew him for 43 years. Have been thrust into a world I am not sure I want to be part of.

[milaycastillo]

OMG, this podcast is a jewel! Great questions and great answers! I'm so glad to have found podcasts with common sense!

We are definitely living in a world where we are creating more and more anxiety around us. High inflation, skyrocketed home prices, high debt, increased isolation, dependence on technology all these things are creating an anxious society.

Always amazed with The Lewis School. “Stay Connected”=My take away.
And credit to Marisa Peer and now here…
“I am enough”.
Many thanks. ❤

Great job, acts of service are so fulfilling. Selfish people don't know what they are missing!

[emilymo]

SO excited for this collab of two titans! Dr Delony does incredible work 💙

[PIHUM]

These interviews are great, love listening to them while I work and apply what is being said. Great stuff and it’s free… priceless!

[zenlifebalance]

💜💜💜Love this talk. Biggest takeaway would be that one must be honest with self about where you’re currently at in the moment and where you’re heading, and if that’s the direction you want to be going in. Be in the moment with loved ones so that they feel safe being in your presence and feel cherished.💜💜💜

Just found this video, two shining examples of men helping those with anxiety.

[karenvargas]

I just saw a small part of this video on Facebook. And got my attention, and when it was done, I had to come on YouTube, and it was a great decision. Thank you for this.

[serendipity]

So informative and validating as a school counselor serving traumatized youth and mom struggling with my own anxiety!
I passed along to over 40 people! Thank you!!!!

To many people see anxiety as your enemy or trying to hurt you when actually it's your body trying to keep you safe
