"Now, this has been a very peculiar talk for some businessman to come in and give a law school - some guy who's never taken a course in psychology telling you that all these psychology textbooks are wrong. This is very eccentric. But all I can tell you is that I'm sincere. There's a lot of simple stuff that many of you are quite capable of learning. And your lives will work way better, too, if you do. Plus, learning it is a lot of fun. So I urge you to learn it."
