I find that it is easiest to see solutions to the ‘obvious’ problems in life. It’s the blind spots, the places where our pride sleeps + the issues tied to our fears that we need to truly work on to see growth!
Books are, at their heart, dangerous. Yes, dangerous. Because they challenge us: our prejudices, our blind spots. They open us to new ideas, new ways of seeing. They make us hurt in all the right ways. They can push down the barricades of ‘them’ & widen the circle of ‘us. ~Libba Bray
The road to pursue the transformation we need, requires more than just a good self-help book... it requires courage, vulnerability + love.
"The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual." Samuel Smiles
