Very useful and personal development stuff all at the beginning of the book. TLDR: cue —> routine —> reward

Didn’t realize this was a Christian book (bonus from my perspective). Only 40 pages in and it’s making me uncomfortable lol - yup - definitely need to read this book. Ugh.

Great book. Character Vin is interesting. Sort of your standard street urchin start, but and interesting take on her character.

Sam is on page 44 of 160 of The Great Divorce
Oh how I thought this book would be easy and free of spirit. I longed for something to set my spirit aflame and be entertained!

Crap I’m starting to talk like C.S. Lewis now. Good so far but man he’s still heady even in something I had hoped to be an interesting, but short, piece of fiction.

... think I need to go find a junk book and then come back to C.S Lewis

Sam is on page 33 of 76 of A Grief Observed
“And grief still feels like fear. Perhaps, more strictly, like suspense. Or like waiting; just hanging around waiting for something to happen. It gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn’t seem worth starting anything...”

Just wow. Good. Recommended CS Lewis “Mere Christianity”, so will have to read through that (and CS Lewis other books on the subject).

I’ve struggled with the subject of sin (understanding on a deeper level than - “something bad”). This has helped me understand/gave deeper meaning to the purpose of Jesus sacrifice.

Good stuff :)

MECE - Mutually Exclusive, Comprehensively Exhaustive. Hadn't heard that before. Pretty cool. Have been addressing team division of labor lately so learning about it was timely.

This book has some bite. Some of it is repetitive, largely good though.
