The 4 Pillars of Integrity (Jim Dethmer via The Knowledge Project)
Integrity: (from integer) to be whole or complete. In Jim Dethmer's meaning the word drops its ethical connotations and assumes the meaning of energetic wholeness and being fully alive.
- radical responsibility: we move from blaming others and external circumstances to taking full responsibility for our actions and emotions
- feel your feelings: sweeping emotions under the rug is a sure way of not being whole with ourselves and will eventually move us from being in control to being controlled by the amazing amount of energy that it takes us to suppress those emotions
- candor: when we hold back we detach, and when we detach can't feel energetic wholeness
- be impeccable in your agreements: in Charlie Munger's words be dependable. When you cannot keep your agreements, say so as early as you can

Addendum: on Rituals
A ritual is an invitation to something beyond
A ritual is an invitation to something beyond the mere practice of an activity.
Going on a walk while listening to certain Knowledge Project episodes is a ritual for me in the sense that it invites reflection on how I feel in the moment and I feel focused and energized after it ends.
