Lenny Kravitz: I think these loops are more about looking around the corner and seeing if there's anything you missed in terms of your decision making process. It's like basically use a research for your life. Don't do what people tell you to do. Take it as an input. Look for things that you strongly disagree with or are surprises to you. Lenny: The values exercise is this 10 to 15 minute exercise where you're presented with a list of words that might encompass potential values.
