Some Points From My Readings ...


- You should develop the ability to reason accurately and independently rather than accepting ideas based solely on authority or tradition ...

- Our egos cause us to cherish opinions, judge others and rationalize our beliefs ... Perennialists ask “Would you rather be right or be happy?” ...

- We should exercise humility .... Not because others find it attractive (although they do) ... But because, if we are honest with ourselves, we have much to be humble about ...

- We should practice forgiveness ... When we forgive others, we find that others forgive us ... And that we forgive ourselves ...

- Moral development comes from strengthening our impulse control, prioritizing personal relationships and fostering social responsibility ...
