I've read over a thousand books in my lifetime but only a few have changed me. Brad Stulberg's "The Practice of Groundedness" provides actionable wisdom. (Thread)

In my 38 years as a teacher and 42 years as a coach, I've seldom felt the need to be "taught" and "coached".

I've been so busy DOING the teaching and coaching, that I have never sought someone to teach and coach ME.

Brad Stulberg merges multiple fields of scientific inquiry, the world's major wisdom traditions, and the practices of highly fulfilled peak formers to come up with common threads of truth.

"Accept where you are to get you where you want to go."

I've lived almost 64 years believing that a good life is rewarded with wonderful things. I've too often buried my head in the sand, believing in what Brad calls "heroic individualism" and "society's superficial success culture".

"Forget about the losses, exaggerate the wins." ~Jackson Browne (The Road)

Buddhism teaches, "Everyone in life will experience 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows."

Accept the truth.

"I'm beginning to be my best friend." ~Seneca

Happiness requires struggle.

"Groundedness" is not a self help book, it's a high performance book.

"May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift." ~Bob Dylan (Forever Young).

"Groundedness" is definitely the best book I've read in 2022.

Thanks for the coaching, @BStulberg.
