    “I am addicted to Social Q’s! Literally the first thing I do when I open my eyes on a Wednesday morning is check to see what Philip has to say this week. I love getting a peak into what grinds people’s gears or the silly conundrums people end up in. Whether I agree with his advice (often) or not (rarely), I always find it to come from a place of generosity to others and peace-seeking for the question-asker. And I ADORE the comments which, though sometimes contentious, are mostly joyful and hilarious. It’s a gift to take a quick trip into the minds of others confronting conflict or advising others on how to do so and to remember that a great many people see the world very differently than me, and that’s okay!”
