119. At 50: My Biggest Lessons of a Life Well Lived Men, This Way

“Honesty without kindness is just cruel. But kindness without honesty is manipulation. And honesty with kindness, that’s divine. So I think that’s an inquiry that serves us well to live in, like, ‘How can I be honest?’ ‘How can I be transparent in a way that also takes into account her sensitivity?’” — Bryan
