Dean tells of an experience he had when he hired a consultant named Joe Stump to help get his readers and students more engaged. Joe teaches Dean the “Seven Levels Deep” exercise, which is simply just asking yourself the question “why?” seven times.

Dean talks about an inner villain that thrives when we focus on our weaknesses. How many times have you heard someone tell you to get better at what you’re not good at? Well, that’s garbage advice that you should stop following! Not only will you be happier working on your strengths, but your weaknesses will also take care of themselves. The problem with working on weaknesses is that it keeps us in a constant struggle. When we’re always trying to improve what we suck at, our belief in ourselves slowly…
