"How do you cram a comprehensive narrative of a person’s life in only 750 pages? Like this.
This is a lot longer read than I am used to. I’m used to carefully selected and condensed stories that highlight a larger narrative. I’m not sure I get the intended value out of a non-abridged version." — Feb 01, 2025 12:07PM

eliminating anxiety is not the goal. You’re never going stop being anxious any more than you will stop being angry or sad. So managing our responses is the strongest way to prevent anxiety from controlling our homes.
“Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
