Phil's lowest moments became the catalyst for his genuine transformation. How can a crisis serve as a turning point toward growth?
Phil found meaning through learning skills like piano and ice sculpting. What makes skill-building fulfilling even when external rewards are absent?
Phil's calculated attempts to win Rita failed until he became genuinely good. What distinguishes authentic connection from performed affection?
Phil transformed by memorizing the town's needs and serving others daily. How do small acts of service shape both individuals and communities?

To provide an enjoyable experience for fellow participants, here are three ground rules during discussion events:
Step up and step back. (If you feel that you’ve been talking too much, step back to listen more. If you feel that you’ve been relatively quiet, step up to share your perspective or ask a question)
Listen to understand, not to respond.
Be open-minded and value differences.
