Privileged to read early copy of #SilentY by #KatherineBenfante.

Swept away in a thought experiment that seems so absurd, yet reveals elements that brush (sometimes too closely) with undercurrents in today’s world.

For lovers of Handmaid’s Tale, felt very Gilead.

"This thought echoes idea. It's really interesting. There is research to show that the beliefs you arrive at a situation with are going to influence not just your own behavior, but how other people are going to react to you.” — Josh Davis, PhD

#FridayReads InnSæ by Hrund Gunnsteisdóttir

So much wisdom in this gem of a book. Different intuition books reveal different approaches, but InnSæi presents a layered approach new to me. I highly recommend giving it a try!

What happens when you're waiting for intuition to present itself & it shows up as a blue exercise ball during meditation ?

How do we navigate life with a strong inner compass?

"When we are fully present in the moment and so what I, you are best able to tune into your intuition & build on all the knowledge, expertise & experience that you accumulated throughout your life."

"Intuition as an inner compass really helps us discern what we think, what's important that we do, and also understand what are the things we might want to let go of and feeling good about it."

"People who are highly tolerant of uncertainty are curious and more flexible. They argue differently, they will argue to learn, so they're more open to others opinions.”
