  2. Stepping Out = detachment and observation.
  3. Walking Your Why = identifying own core values
  4. Moving On = implementation of changes

Positivity is a "new form of moral correctness, denying the reality of who we are as human beings", says David. Emotionally agile people need the skills and resources to thrive in our fast-changing world. There are no good or bad ways of feeling - it is a totally subjective matter part of the human experience.
