Book cover for This Is How Your Marriage Ends: A Hopeful Approach to Saving Relationships
My overarching premise is that good people who want to be married accidentally hurt one another and betray each other’s trust without either partner being aware of it as it is happening until their marriage slowly becomes toxic and/or ends.

Yuval Noah Harari
“How can you tell, then, whether someone is part of the people or not? Easy. If they support the leader, they are part of the people. This, according to the German political philosopher Jan-Werner Müller, is the defining feature of populism.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

Yuval Noah Harari
“To function, a democracy needs to meet two conditions: it needs to enable a free public conversation on key issues, and it needs to maintain a minimum of social order and institutional trust.”

Richard Rohr
“All the Christian churches are being forced to an inevitable, honest, and somewhat humiliating conclusion.

Richard Rohr, The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective

Yuval Noah Harari

Yuval Noah Harari
“Truth, then, isn’t a one-to-one representation of reality. Rather, truth is something that brings our attention to certain aspects of reality while inevitably ignoring other aspects. No account of reality is 100 percent accurate, but some accounts are nevertheless more truthful than others.”
