Louis mentions people with “The Fool” archetype need to be more present and connected about their feeling towards money. They need to recognize that their decisions and choices will affect the future. To escape the “What is next” world, they need to beware their behaviours that will impact their financial loss.
People with “The Tyrant” are imprinted with the concept of give less and receive more.
