Jeff Garson began his career as an attorney. After 20 years of running a thriving practice that put him ahead of the game, he experienced a serious business reverse that sent him into a depression.    But his struggle with depression was a turning point. It pushed Jeff to think through what was important to him and how he really wanted to live. For him, that meant migrating away from practicing law to create an extraordinary life of meaning and purpose.   Now he’s on a mission to create a better world by striving for decency. He’s the author of  Radical Decency: A Values-Based Approach to a Better Life and World. In this episode, Jeff walks us through how to rethink the way we interact with ourselves, our families, friends and colleagues.   We discussed:    Why the worst time in Jeff’s life turned out to be the thing that saved it  His “aha!” moment about the connection between personal and societal growth  The four values that permeate our society—and why they cause dissatisfaction  How to bring a mindset to a conversation that begins with saying less  The deeper impact of our core values on intimate relationships    Links www.jeffgarson.com

1005 Jeff Garson – Radical Decency

Most people like to think of themselves as doing good things in the world, but when we look at the concept of decency in our world’s cultures, we are lacking. So how can we do better as individuals to help create a better world? And how does this begin with businesses? Jeff Garson joins us today to break it down. Jeff Garson is the author of the very interesting and highly recommended book  Radical Decency. In his career journey, he started out as a lawyer and ended up taking a drastic shift to become a psychotherapist. In today’s episode, Jeff shares his concept of decency and how starting in the business world can make a huge impact as business and sales make the world go round. This all sounds very overwhelming and maybe even a bit abstract, but Jeff offers some very practical and real things we need to look at as both individuals and business leaders. What We Talked About in This Episode:  Jeff’s Background and Inspiration to Write  Radical Decency Overemphasized Values and the Need to Shift The Decency Foundation Business as the Strategic Point of Entry The Problem of Winning Being the Only Thing The Compatibility of Decency and Profitability Where to Start Within a Business to Apply Decency Jeff’s Observations as a Psychotherapist What Happens When You’re in Fight or Flight Mode Listening is More Complicated Than Speaking Jeff’s Pep Talk to Keep Unlocking Decency Trusting the Process Decency to Yourself, Others, and the World Jeff’s Book Recommendation and Daily Rituals  About Our Guest: Jeff was an attorney for 25 years representing banks, investors, and businesses of all sizes. Since leaving the law in 2000, he has been a psychotherapist supporting countless clients as they’ve struggled to find their way in a world that relentlessly pushes them to compete and win – and remorselessly judge themselves when they fall short. He is also the co-founder of the Decency Foundation; an organization dedicated to bringing Radical Decency to business. Drawing on this lifetime of work, study, and exploration, Jeff is uniquely able to speak with authority about the overriding issue of our time: How to create a better life and world when, year by year, the culture’s fiercely competitive, me-first values seem to reach, ever more deeply, into our lives.
