I thought this was a pretty good book despite the seeming brevity to it. Anyways to really expand for those who haven't read it, Dethmer talks about an internal mindset dial between judgementalness vs curiosity. There are other dials like victim vs agency, emotional acceptance vs denial, etc.

I appreciate you both bringing him up. I had forgotten about his work and may dig more into his book. I had learned of him from the Tim Ferriss podcast, perhaps this episode: https://tim.blog/2020/06/09/jim-dethmer-transcript/

Ah yes I remember that one. A few weeks later I believe one of his colleagues in Conscious Leadership Group goes on the show too and she brings up more details.

Oh sweet, I'll look into it, thanks!
