COMMunication is making COMMon what is known to just ourselves

When someone says no to u they r saying yes to smth else more important to them

- go from a place of curiosity
- work together to meet everyone’s needs

Share u understand their needs

I like the centring and pause/breath techniques. The example of the man on the train and the drunk guy whose wife died was so 🥺 I teared up

Similar to nonviolent communication: we can’t convince others with facts, but by listening to them with care

Zero sum games (scarcity and competition) is ruining relationships (fight right book) and the world. Need to change mindset to collaboration

“Impossible is not a fact. It’s an attitude”

Ok now I like the parts abt taking responsibility, values, and entitlement

I like the part abt chooses ur pain and enjoy the process (climb, not just summit)

Some good points so far but not a fan of the delivery lol

“If you’re not asking for something that’s important to you then you’re actually thinking you don’t deserve it”

Some rly good quotes here esp in the disappointment and resentment chapters

“No one realizes the water is toxic because we're too busy filling the cups for the next generation.” On generational trauma 🥺

WHAT!!! These twists are ridiculous (in a good way I think?)

OMG THAT REVEAL

Omg it suddenly got intense

I have a bad feeling abt this roommate…he’s too sus

Loved the discussion, questions, and examples about values. Made me realize I’ve been implementing these teachings in my life unintentionally - need to do it with more intention going forward

Parts 1 and 2 were kinda repetitive but the metaphors were insightful (sky, documentary)

The Salvador Dali one was cute too

Aww the dream one was fun to read

Aww 🥺

Omg… that is ADVANCED

Omg… the way history gets twisted… I’m so 💀

OMG!!!!!! GENIUS omg I can’t EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT OMG

OMG!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT JUST HAPPENED

“My greatest wish for humanity is not for peace or comfort or joy. It is that we are still die a little inside every time we witness the death of another. For only the pain of empathy will keep us human. There’s no vision of God that can help us if we ever lose that.”
