• How surviving a stroke became a transformative spiritual experience for Reggie  
• Anger as a gift and friend that can show us injustice, unreconciled pain, and more
• How facing his anger led Reggie to yoga, mindfulness, and spiritual life
• Maharaj-ji’s wisdom: you can be angry, just don’t throw anyone out of your heart.
• How poverty is pathologized in American society—and the consequences of blaming the poor.
• What science reveals about the empathy gap in wealthy individuals and its societal impact
• Consuming less media, talking less, and praying more

"You should be outraged, these are outrageous times. What will you do with that outrage? How might that outrage fuel the aims that you seek as opposed to fuel your self-destruction or delusion?” – Reggie Hubbard
