Strikes me that a lot of the troubled experiences people are reporting at work and home and in between these day can be understood through the lens of “complicated grief.”
Grief is “complicated” when it’s prolonged, it has no closure, and it’s hard to mourn let alone accept a loss. Or when we can’t express our pain or find support to, slowly, face it. Or when we feel we must put on a brave face and soldier on while we feel hollow inside.

I spoke to an old therapist friend today, and finally understood why everyone’s so exhausted after the video calls. It’s the plausible deniability of each other’s absence. Our minds tricked into the idea of being together when our bodies feel we’re not. Dissonance is exhausting.
It’s easier being in each other’s presence, or in each other’s absence, than in the constant presence of each other’s absence.

The leadership industry is about to jump on the humanism bandwagon. (The machines don’t need thought leaders). So either we’ll see a lot more critique, or a lot more fake humanism.
Reminder: there are no docile humanities. hbr.org/2018/11/busine…
