Some friends and I also just finished meditations for mortals. Such a good book! I like him because he’s often a contrarian, questioning the established norm or view, and backing it up with data, examples, and results. And he’s also a good and clever writer with interesting stories.
Discernment is a hard thing for me. I’m used to putting things on a pros list or a cons list. Doing things like prioritizing, maybe strategizing - that kind of logical, wordy thinking. Quite a different thing than looking for what shimmers, what resonates, what calls.
Nice essay here Amy, as usual. Lots of food for thought.
It would be a great book to read with friends, I started to listen to it, but switched to a hard copy because I could tell there was much wisdom to glean!
Thoughtful, thank you.
