People can experience significant personal improvement by shifting from having negative mental battles with strangers to wishing them well.

“I started doing a thing where like when I would be out at a grocery store I would really focus on not having like a silent battle against people and instead just like wishing strangers well and like like you were saying exuding that whatever that energy is dude I felt so much more comfortable in pub”

Ego creates delusional narratives and prevents people from being teachable, and overcoming this is necessary to live a better life.

“when I think that I know there's no open mind I am not teachable and I'm definitely not willing to try anything that I don't agree with”
