Fwiw I don’t get why everyone thinks Taylor Swift is as big a deal as she is. That’s what this book felt like to me. Tons of rave reviews and a few good songs but practically nothing new or revelatory. In fact it was just long winded explanations of basic principles that I’m surprised people don’t already know. Had it been half as long it might be a decent read. As is it was laborious and full disclosure I only got half way through before swearing it off.

Great information but not sure I needed a whole book of it.

I have not read self help in a LONG time and it's one of those genres I'm most averse to. That said, that book is the warmest hug coming out of the isolation of pandemic life. This is such a well thought out and intentional book that has totally transformed the way I gather with my community in amazing ways.

I got some good nuggets . . . but I think the book could be a lot shorter.
