“The depressed person is mired in the past; the manic person is obsessed with the future. Both destroy the present in the process.”
Nassir Ghaemi, A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness

Howard Thurman

Howard Thurman

W. Somerset Maugham

Dan P. McAdams
“People tailor their life stories for particular audiences. The recipient or audience for a story may crucially influence the stories form. Audiences are both social and intrapsychic – we have internalized private audiences.”
Dan P McAdams
