How to train people

Lessons from a dog

Welcome back to the weekend addition of Life Intelligence… because we need to belife-intelligent every day of the week. This is a reader supported publication. A big “Thank YOU!” to my paid subscribers. You help me stay excited about writing and pay a bill or two.

If you want free stuff, head over to my YouTube channel. But I warn you, you get what you pay for! Don’t judge me.

Oh, the fun and entertainment of owning a dog. But who knew that having Lulu would teach me valuable lessons on how to train humans?

A degree in psychology did not curb my enthusiasm for well-meaning judgment and criticism. Actually, it made it worse because now I called it "an educated professional opinion."
