Another fascinating read from Malcolm Gladwell. I unintentionally listened to the abridged version (3+ hours versus 8+ hours). He talks about how epidemics and trends start, and how they have three different kinds of people: connectors (one of my top 5 Strengthsfinder traits), mavens (I am partially this also), and salespeople. He talks about the spread of disease, the re-emergence of Hush Puppies as a fashion trend, Sesame Street, and other things. It was really good! Highly recommend!
"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well" (The Little Prince by de Saint-Exupéry). One woman's journey to wellness through a well-adjusted heart, well-watered soul, well-educated mind, and well-tuned body. "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, and with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH" (Mark 12:30-31).
