I hope you will, too. I think for me when I read books like this, I take it in little bits and chunks. I don't try to digest it in one weekend and I settle in with what I've learned and I try to live into it and see how it shows up in my life. And I certainly feel that this book will be that for sure. There are certain ideas in here that have already sparked me

It's the enjoyment of another success, and it's a subset of empathy. And when I heard this, it just really sparked me because it gave me this sense of placing something that I have felt in my life and naming it. And I think it really goes back to her initial intention of this book. When you find language for something, you more deeply experience it in life

Oh wow. I'm here to talk about this book. This book is about words and this book is about feelings, and this book is about shared human experience and the complexity and the brutality of being this thing called alive. And I don't know that I could even dignify with words if there was ever a thing that could be imagined, that Brenner Brown could outdo Brenner Brown. She has done it. In my opinion

It makes you kind of have to say, okay, I'm in this moment of like, I'm not sure what's going to happen, but thank you so much for also for how abusive you are about this book. I think it's really great to have things in our lives that kind of pull us into this space of hope and euphoria

So I'm halfway through the books and I just keep rereading different parts of it because sometimes she simplifies it to such a level that I have to reread it because the emotion is so complex and with her research and how she breaks it down, it just makes it such a more cognitive experience for me. I'm a very cognitive person, and when things make sense to me that way, then I'm able to incorporate it better. So this book is a gift

Belonging is a practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to present be present with people without sacrificing who we are. Super interesting. When you think about wanting to be open and vulnerable with new ideas from new people, but staying true to your Compass, that's the thing that really is definitive for you. That what kind of is the anchor that you hang all of your deep, important parts, and you hope that maybe or I hope I'll make this personal

I also wanted to encourage anybody listening to this conversation to go ahead and start their own separate swell about a section in the book that they really wanted to really dig into with people. I just did that with section on empathy. So I'm going to link you to that new swell conversation. And here it is

I really gravitate towards the transcendence chapter, and that's where you experience the awe of life and the wonder, and it really shows how we have to realize how insignificant we are as humans in the grand scheme of everything. So that's really interesting to me. The belonging chapter as well. Super intriguing. I really think the quote that you shared, belonging isn't about molding to anybody else's expectations of how you should be or who you are

Hey, Dee, glad to see you here as well. The book is amazing. I have it. And the chapters are really delicious. They're broken down really well. And I look forward to you picking it up and enjoying this conversation more. Yeah, it's just it's fun on. It's kind of a graphic novelty kind of thing because it's got a lot of charts and pictures and anecdotes thank you for the Pillars of Life idea
