How Stella Learned to Talk: The Groundbreaking Story of the World's First Talking Dog

by Christina Hunger

It’s like hopping in the car to begin a big cross-country road trip. You know you will not reach the other side of the country on the first day, and the trip will require hours of driving. But you will see signs that you are moving in the right direction along the way. You pass through different states, observe new landscapes out the window, and see landmarks in person that previously you had only ever read about. In the worst-case scenario, you realize you want to take a different route and adjust your GPS to navigate a new course. Even in that situation, you are still closer to your destination than you would have been by staying at home, wondering what the rest of the country looks like.

after a couple of days without using social media or watching TV, I already felt a huge difference. I had more energy at the end of the day, I realized how much more time I had when I did not take up every spare moment, and I was so excited. Since my brain was not filled with other people’s thoughts, I could really listen to my own.
