I not only did est, I did some “grad” courses. The two most important things I left with were that I was responsible for making my life the mess it was and that being a “victim” was a choice. A couple of these tenets of being an adult would be very helpful to some of these “snowflakes” on campus today. I also remember getting “it”—a memory I had forgotten until tonight.
This aspect of it is what I'm interested in.
I listened to the (audio only) video that's linked above last night, and some of the things Mr. Erhard said about responsibility and getting over yourself resonated for me, across all the decades.
Did you achieve within yourself any insights that led to improved problem-solving skills? Or was it more fundamental than that, that the problem you learned to solve was your own resistance to problem solving?
