“Parenting is figuring out when to step in, when to step back, when to step aside and what is the right thing to do for our children at their age and stage for this circumstance.”

“The real art of parenting is forgiving yourself and the imperfect children you’re trying to raise.”

“Your presence is worth a lot.”

“The more you get good at practicing having those difficult conversations lovingly, the better off you will be.”

“Help when you don’t need to. Nobody will know but you.”

“Parenting is the greatest opportunity in our lives for at least one human being to become an even better human being by the sheer force of our love.”

More About My Guest

Dr. Harry Cohen Ph.D. is a Psychologist, Executive Coach, Restauranter, and the Author of Be The Sun, Not The Salt.

In 2015 Dr. Harry gave a TEDX Talk that outlined the concept of Helio-tropic Leadership (the scientific understanding that all living systems are drawn towards life-sustaining energy including our own).

The principles discussed in the TEDX Talk were so well received, that Dr. Harry was inspired to write his latest book, Be The Sun, Not The Salt 2018, which is a short straightforward yet profound guide for being your best self, uplifting others, and behaving in a manner that draws others toward you and makes you happier and more effective. It’s not the type of book that is merely read once and placed on the shelf but rather revisited throughout our day and life as a source of guidance, and an uplifting reminder of what positive behavior looks like for individuals of any age. bethesunnotthesalt.com
