We discuss why it’s useful to identify the “ugliest thing” in your life—i.e., what aspect needs the most attention? We also share an easy hack about enhancing family memories, and we explore a Four-Tendencies situation involving a young-adult son’s surprising reaction to his father’s lateness. We wrap up with listener suggestions for creative before-and-after photo books.
