Episode 136: An Evolving Caveman: Self Reflection and Anger Management

Stories of Reaching the Emotional Connections Necessary for Happiness

Dr. John Schinnerer almost gave his podcast the title The Reluctant Podcaster. Similar to my own journey, starting a podcast wasn't at all on his radar. It was a vivid vision at a retreat that included workshops with Dan Millman (author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior), spa massages, and a drum circle.

So much of this conversation comes back to me as I consider the "ah ha" moments throughout. My favorite? The Bradley Whitford quote about receiving feedback or criticism:

I go through three phases when I hear feedback or criticism, 

  1. Fuck you.

  2. I suck.

  3. Wait... what?

Intrigued? Listen in!
