In this article Harrison explains how unlearning can make us happy and help us grow. One of the most important forms of growth is unlearning. All learning we do, in a sense involves unlearning. The more we can unlearn, the more likely we are to experience the sense of growth and progress we so desire.

In this article Harrison discusses how resisting change and not taking necessary and relevant action can be the biggest obstacles to a better career and better life.

The best strategy is to be focused, and this focus will help you overcome the resistance you face whenever you make an effort to begin changing.
