4 Ways to Stay Grounded in an Unstable World

Dr. Chad discusses the need for stability and grounding in a tumultuous and changing world, particularly focusing on the impacts of AI and social media on our self-perception. He provides four practical steps to help individuals stay grounded: ask what your actions are in service to, stop managing perception based on others' opinions, carve out space for self-reflection, and accept the complexity and mystery of one's own self.

Chad emphasizes the importance of focusing on self-awareness and intrinsic motivation, rather than seeking validation and certainty from external sources.
