Pre-Lecture Reflection for "Expansion of the Self"

From whom do you seek guidance about how to live a good life? What characteristics or features of this person makes them good at providing guidance? Do they tell you what you want to hear or do they provide advice that challenges you? How do you tend to respond to their guidance? How do you think you should respond to their guidance? As you articulate your position, clearly explain your reasoning for your position, and if appropriate provide a concrete real-life example that illustrates your position. The reflection should be no less than 250 words.
