Authentic people are peculiar. I’m using the word “peculiar” here to denote the quality of being magnetic to others. I just did a mental survey of people whom I would say I know pretty well. Without exception I noticed two things they have in common. First, they’re peculiar; every last one of them. Second, it is their peculiarity that draws me to them. Presumably it is my peculiarity that serves as a bonding agent as well. Why? Because peculiarity is central to being authentic. It raises our connectivity quotient to new levels.

I hope you enjoy this episode, and would love to know how you do with the action item I present here. Just send me a note at andrew@peoplechangepeople.com
