“What gets our attention is what gives our lives meaning,” I told them. “Where we spend our time determines what we accomplish and what we become good at. The battle for our minds—and this is a battle for your minds—is waged and won, not by helping you think. It’s won by manipulating your emotions. Anger and hate are literally shaping who we will become as a people. It’s pumping toxic sludge through us. So if you feel angry or you feel like you hate another group, step back and take a deep breath.”
