If your inclined, Marshal Rosenbergs' 'Nonviolent Communication' book is a rad deep dive & super helpful in opening some really cool dialogs with people. Thanks for the thought provoking questions and for openness.

Thanks for reminding me of Kurt Andersen’s 2017 book, 'Fantasyland, How America went Haywire'.
Andersen argues that Americans, historically predisposed to magical thinking and self-delusion, have cultivated a culture where fantasy and emotion often trump reason and reality. Great read!
