FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 57: Multiple Personalities

Preview KEW Episode 76: Why Am I?
Some folks may think this is a silly question. But if you’re reading this you probably think it’s a great question. First, thanks for coming! Second, I ask this question fairly literally as a means of transitioning along the pathway that is The Are vs Should Problem. For the last…

KEW Preview Episode 23: Who’s Right?
My therapist posed the question to me once, “Would you rather be right, or happy?” and I have thought about it ever since. At the end of the day, I’d rather be happy. Our desire to be right, to win arguments, or impose our beliefs and values on to others…
