Episode notes
The Manual Concept
- Most people have "manuals" or rule books for how others should behave.
- These manuals are often unspoken and tied to our emotional responses.
Self-Responsibility
- Acknowledge your own manuals and take responsibility for them.
- Trying to control others is often futile, especially when we struggle to manage ourselves.
Source of Feelings
- We want others to change because we believe their changed behavior will make us feel better.
- Our thinking about their behavior, not the behavior itself, causes our feelings.
