To sit a class and be quiet?” First of all, it will only be a minute or two at a time, maybe once or twice a second, it is maybe the most important thing you39。s much more than is about taking this form and changing ,(which is)change, form,(which is) the is is the distinction that I learned first from at the Robert Kegan who taught about in and of itself is not about this go for an athletic aim is to get into the top threeto be a e in number 39。m making mon sense more in and of itself is simply not 39。s about chipping away the excess stone because as kids, we are always asking are always me show you a quick excerpt from a video of one of my favorite psychologists, actually the edian, will watch a lot of excerpts throughout the about what we were like as is this in your way “So, the first couple of years I made my own costumes which of course sucked: the ghost, the hobo...Then, finally, the third year, begging the parents, I got the Superman Halloween box, selfmade top, mask the rubber band on the back of that mask?

But they are3through the taught the Thursday started 2 years started on I taught on Thursday, pletely lecture I made it through I went to home and I couldn39。t have any future careful up I bee very wistful and then I ask myself,“ Ok so professionally, what would I want to do in that last year?” So I know personally exactly what I39。t slept for it wait till tomorrow morning?“And the doctor said,‖ he has to go to Beth Israel, because they have the best labs for what he needs right now.” And she doesn39。s positive psychologypeople that are very unhappy? Is it only for people who are depressed? Who is this class for?“ Well, the class is for anyone who is interested in Positive psychology and anyone who wants to be you are extremely happy, you can still be you are very unhappy, you can still be the class essentially is for anyone who39。ll do that probably more than any other class on this may be news to you, but this is not English 10A or Math 55, meaning you39。whether it39。s culturally insensitive, arguably one of the most sensitive people yet he said we are focusing too much on cultural differences and he added not because there are no cultural course there are and they are there are many more similarities than we shouldn39。ll be asking, you39。s not about this one Wow to the good many of the things you will learn in this class, you39。m still 39。s like a 39。t really care but had to ask anyway, “how different?” And they would say, “Well you know, we expected you to be more outgoing.” Next interview, the end of the interview, same thing.“Thank you for doing the you know Tal, I expected you to be different.” And once again, nonchalant of course.“Well you know, we expected you to be less, less introversit.” Next interview, same thing.“How different?”“Well, you know, more outgoing.” Next interview.“Well, you know, less shy.” Coz I get very nervous in after interview, literally outgoing, more introverted, more on and here is the best this is one of the local channels here around was going to the had a quite long interview, which I thought was actually pretty at the end of the interview, the interviewer is a very jolly walks me out and puts his hands on my shoulder, and says, “thank you very much for doing the interview.” And then the usual es.“But you know Tal, I expected you to be different.” And I said, “How different?” Just so you understand, by this time, my selfesteem is still with some resemblance of nonchalance I asked, “how different?” And he looks at me and says, “Well I don39。s larger than Introduction to Economics”.How could that be?
