Making life move more smoothly

With some self reflection, I think it’s safe to state that most of us have words, actions, and behaviors from our pasts that we would go back and change if we could. Unfortunately, time machines don’t exist, at least not yet. And although it can be quite painful to realize when we have erred and acted or spoken out of emotion instead of acting like the cool, calm, and collected, clued-in, and stoic souls that our OCD wishes we were, these “mistakes” are actually the catalytic components we so desperately need in order to evolve into the emotionally intelligent Charizards we all admire. And M.L. Johnson kind of gives us the keys to the emotionally mature, rational, and forward thinking Lamborghini that will have us acting like less of a social nightmare and more of the kind of person others want to engage with. My favorite part of this title was the know-how on how to remain calm (as if you are un-triggered) in triggering events, confrontations, and situations. This stuff really goes a long way to making life move more smoothly.

Build healthier connections

I like the focus on communication. Learning how to approach difficult conversations with empathy and respect has been so impactful. The real-life success stories included in the book were inspiring and relatable. It's cool to see that change is not only possible but worth the effort. And it’s comforting to know that others have been in similar situations and have found ways to build healthier connections.
