- Empathizing with those who have hurt us can lead to forgiveness and freedom.

- Adventure is available every single moment of every single day. It is about stepping into the uncomfortable and unstable, and having faith in the call to adventure.
- Recognize the inherent office of a father or mother and invest in relationships by making deposits and being present.
- Being an atheist requires conviction and belief, just like any other belief system. Rediscovering faith can bring a sense of purpose and meaning.
- Jordan Peterson speaks to the universal human condition, emphasizing the need for meaning and the call to adventure.
