Episode: What I’ve Learned from My Dog (About Rejection)
Description: Here’s what’s striking about my dogs behavior: He doesn’t connect rejection to his identity. He never associates rejection with something he did wrong, or the notion that he isn’t good enough. He doesn’t let rejection infect the pleasure and joy he gets out of an activity. Humans are different. Humans internalize rejection, bring it into our identity and wrap it in shame. But we don’t have to. We can learn from man’s best friend. Â
