Unbelievable ~ after almost 10 years of being on Goodreads and entering Giveaways, I received an email on Monday and the book arrived today. Frankly, I hate the word “offended”. I can‘t imagine a better time in my life to read this book and make that ONE change to rid my heart of anger.
With family in town and so much going on, I missed last week, but here are my joys for this week‘s #5JoysFriday.
🎂My grand-niece dancing on the table at the end of her first birthday party
📚That same sweet girl enjoying her book gifts at the park
🥐A croissant sticking out its strawberry tongue at the wall of the display case
🙏🏼Seeing a former student interviewed on the news as he was providing support and aid to wildfire victims (link ⤵️)
pick10/10.
Can someone tell Traister to publish an updated edition? I really want her take on the country six years later. Maybe she‘ll wait for the mid term elections?

pickThis is an amazing book for social emotional regulation. Would be very beneficial for age ranges K-3. I will definitely include this in my future classroom.
Please teach me about my anger.

so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️I didn‘t have any issue with the message of this book - I almost fully agree with his premise that we can choose to be unoffendable, reacting to people‘s anger with love.The reason I didn‘t love this one is because it felt very repetitive, &there were moments that felt like Hansen didn‘t allow for healthy ways to deal with our anger, it should just be dismissed.So it was fine for what it was, but I wish it had been a bit less…or a bit more.
“Okay. So this may sound like the dumbest thing you‘ve ever read, but here goes: you can choose to be unoffendable.”
