"Trauma is not what happens to you. It is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. Medicine has been treating the outside and wondering why the inside stays broken."

Gabor Maté · On Trauma & Medicine

"Most leadership books are written by people who have confused confidence with competence. The seven myths persist because they flatter the people who most need to be challenged."

James Thornton · On Leadership Mythology

"Certainty is the enemy of learning. And yet we reward it in performance reviews, in boardrooms, and in consulting rooms. We have built institutions that punish the honest admission of not knowing."

Gordon Young · On Cognitive Rigidity

"Cinema shapes many of the beliefs we live by. The question is not whether Hollywood influences our beliefs — it is whether we are conscious enough to notice which ones it has already replaced."

Dr Anya Rossi · On Media & Meaning
