Very thankful for his books and opening up in interviews. I’ve shared one video in particular with innumerable number of patients who have been helped by his story. Nothing but respect.

Take a deeper look into Paul's answer to addressing negativity. "You've done nothing wrong. It's them, not you." This sometimes can into- You don't make mistakes. We can blames someone for anything we don't like." That's a perfect reflection of how he paints himself (and everyone else) in his book.
@HappyMachorino-bd8no5 ай бұрын
Not really. What you confuse are rational discussions with "negativity". Paul said: "there is nothing wrong with fighting". And he is his own harshest critic. Read his book📖 and learn more. Do you really believe a dumb*ss who only blames others could ever become that great, bigger than life? But "Negativity" comes from the 😡haters. Who insult and agitate... And Paul is right: "You've done nothing wrong". And he has done nothing wrong. THE HATE IS IN THE HATER🐍 They are not interested in your "mistakes". No, they want to humiliate and annihilate you psychologically as a person. This has nothing to do with "Who made a mistake at work?"
