There are so many shareable quotes from this book, one being “that’s the power of meaning. We can tolerate any suffering, if we know why” ugh they say some deep hitting shit in this book.

Wow, I'm learning so much from this book. The thought shift that dealing with stressors is not the same as dealing with the stress itself is crazy. I always want to deal with the stressor, the root of the problem. But it’s the actual stress unrelated to its cause thats wreaking havoc on your mind/body. Removing the stressor does not remove the stress, you have to complete the stress cycle.

So far this is SO good. I’m loving the history of Gucci. I don’t really care about fancy brands but just knowing the history makes me want a vintage Gucci bag haha. I can’t wait to finish the book and watch the movie too

My therapist recommended this book. I don’t love her, but I’m enjoying the book and the practical meditation guidance it’s giving me. I just finished the first chapter or week one content. It’s broken into a 10 week coarse. Now that I’ve got all the info I’ll start practicing the meditation recommend for a full week before reading the next section.

Ugh this book is going to make me cry I already know it.

It’s heating up, but I’m not yet addicted and ready to throw my life away to finish the book.
