"Embrace confident humility: argue like you’re right, listen like you’re wrong."

"I don’t think there’s any skill more critical for success than resilience...I think about resilience as the speed and strength of your response to adversity."

"Think like a scientist: treat your opinions as hypotheses and decisions as experiments."

"Generosity is not a loan to repay or a debt to settle. Its a gift to appreciate. You reciprocate a favor by paying it back. You honor an act of kindness by paying it forward."

"Time doesnt heal psychological wounds. Perspective does...Time creates distance. Reflection offers wisdom."

"Young kids have wider circles of concern than adults. Adults expect people to enjoy the misfortune of groups they dislike. But 3-5-year-olds expect people to care about everyones suffering. Compassion is an instinct—we dont have to learn it. We need to stop unlearning it."
