Oprah Winfrey's promotion of therapy culture has encouraged an unhealthy focus on rumination and self-obsession.

“Oprah, if you look back at what Oprah did, her biggest legacy was getting us all hooked on therapy culture. And and the the real word for it today is rumination. Which, as it turns out, we're now learning is literally the worst thing you can do to get through your mental health struggles.”

People must take active responsibility for their lives and choices to foster their own personal and spiritual growth.

“I have piled up so many empty yesterdays by saying I'll do it tomorrow. Do it now, whatever it is and and learn something new today. Do something new. Be a better person.”
