Scott Galloway: Grief is the Price of Love | Office Hours
In this Office Hours episode, Scott Galloway answers three listener questions: grieving his father seven months on, the family traditions he hopes his sons keep, and how he handles public criticism of his work.
The gist
-
Galloway says he is fine after his dad's death and still feels his mother's death, 22 years ago, more deeply.
-
He calls anxiety and grief love's receipts, and suggests giving grief a time limit before seeking friends, grief counseling, or therapy.
-
His main family traditions are vacations together and working out, a habit his father started when Galloway was about 9.
-
Galloway says if you get no criticism you are not saying anything, and he believes a third to half of the harshest comments are bots.
-
He reads only the first 10 or 20 comments, wanting to be informed by them but not shaped by them.
