I realize this whole book is about how childhood experiences shape a person’s life, but wOW! This is really hitting me right in the childhood

“What has this belief actually done for me?”

“what am I not saying no to?”
When did I “sense a ‘no’ within me that wanted to be expressed, but I stifled it, conveying a ‘yes’ (or a silence) where a ‘no’ wanted to be heard?”

“Your personality is not you; you are not your personality.”
“The personality is an adaptation.”
Excuse me while I rethink my whole life.

As a PT, I cannot fathom NOT asking a patient about what is helping them feel better

Finally getting to solutions

Why is this matching up with current events so much. Really had me taking a pause for the cause

And now calling Canada out on their racism

Sherlock homes never said “it’s elementary, Watson”

Calling America OUT on our racism

Sorry not sorry for the hot take but social determinants of health have way more to do with American’s health than food dyes

Loneliness is “compared to the harm of smoking fifteen cigarettes a day.”
Sending out an SOS to the North

Had to take a break from JP because his own depressive catastrophization was too much of a bias. This last chapter feels like GM is doing the same, his own catastrophization is getting in the way of his really good ideas (imo)

I don’t know how it let me update without remembering to change the progress

Subway again 🙄

Robin Williams rip 💔

You probably don’t have a serotonin deficiency

Apparently twin studies are bogus.

Strong possibility my flight is canceled again and I have one more day to finish this book

Borrowing this from my cousin while I stay in her apartment while my flight was cancelled for two days. Seeing I can finish it before I leave but the odds are not in my favor!

Similar point to Jordan Peterson on addiction. GM basically saying there’s pain/trauma underlying every addiction. JP saying life is painful it’s a wonder we’re not all addicts

WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY

Quebec cancelled the arts and PE after the COVID shut down??!

This spook just took control of a whole wrecking ball

Setting stricter time limits on IG every time I open this book now (hyperbole, but I have shortened it twice since starting this book)

Can’t forget Squeakers

Can attest being raised in the “it takes a village” era and then parenting in the “you have no village era” is very difficult

“Women can, it turns out, deliver babies without their feet in stirrups and even without reclining in a narrow metal contraption. ‘Try taking a shit while lying down and your legs in the air,’ a midwife suggested when I challenged her wisdom.”

Let’s recycle pieces from the haunted school to repair other parts of the town and have the whole town haunted

Jordan Peterson diss oooohhhhh!

And when I read that part of JP’s rule book it made me scratch my head too. I’m glad someone smarter and with a more relevant degree has noticed the same thing!
