Redefining Failure, Effective Parenting, and Facing Pain | AMA Vol. 19 with Dr. Michael Gervais
20 May 2024 - 1 hour 1 minIn this 19th installment of our Ask Me Anything with high performance psychologist Dr, Michael Gervais, we explore topics like:
- How to re-define failure
- Why facing your deepest pains can be transformative
- How to overcome defensiveness in order to establish meaningful connections
- Why parents need to focus on more than their child's academic achievements
And so much more…
We love these conversations and it’s because we get to wrestle with the questions that matter most to you. They’re incredible.
Thank you for challenging us with great questions…. and keep them coming.
We hope you enjoy Volume 19 of Finding Mastery's "Ask Me Anything."
With Fire,
MG
