"During my first post-lockdown massage we had the requisite chit chat about our lockdown experiences. He gushed: ‘Oh man. It was so great. Every day I woke up, drank coffee, read, rode my bike…’ This did sound pretty great. But it was nothing like my own, anxiety-ridden ordeal.

"We didn't quite make it
But we didn't quite break it
It's easy to walk away
And it's just as easy to stay
Both sides have their merits
But in any marraige
You gotta keep showing up - that's the work
You gotta keep showing up"

She did it again... such a thoughtful and inspiring read. In this book, Vivek talks more about how humanity can change for the better, specifically, how we can be better during a pandemic. There is no push for bettering ourselves or for increased productivity, but simply to centre and focus love and care in everything we do. I love this book, I will read everything Vivek writes.
Interesting read as we're still trying to get out of the pandemic. I'm curious how I'll feel about this after 10 years have gone by.
