There are a few gem reflections in this, a book that purposely asks the reader to take their time reading. It‘s reflective and calming. Admittedly, there were a few times I did not quite agree with the author‘s musings, but that may be the point—it opens for good discussion. Overall, a lovely book. Great pick for the #MidWinterSolace #BuddyRead !

This little book is packed with so much wisdom! I started listening on audio, and quickly realized I needed a print copy, because I wanted to highlight passages, write in the margins, flip back and forth through the pages, and come back to again and again. A gem.

What a perfect choice for #LitSolace #MidwinterSolace , @AllDebooks !

Timely.

The top passage speaks to politicians‘ behavior, but the bottom passage is a light in the dark: “Historically, the people who bring about the change in society tend to be not the middle-aged but the passionate youth. Their hearts are sensitive to the plight of the oppressed. Their spirits stand tall against injustice & fight for the voiceless. Hold on to that youthful heart & spirit no matter how old you are. #MidWinterSolace #BuddyRead

Suet624 I love this. My only quibble with it is the elderly (me) have hearts overly sensitive to the plight of the oppressed as well. 😊 but I understand the point being made. 💕 (edited) 23h

Librarybelle @Suet624 I‘m middle aged, and I like how the quote reflects in the last couple of lines that no matter how old you are to be mindful of your youthful spirit in recognizing the plights of the oppressed. At least, that‘s my interpretation. 😁 23h
Deblovestoread I was struck by these passages as well when I read them last week. 23h
Librarybelle @Deblovestoread I love how you can find quotes that speak to you at the right moment while reading! 23h
Suet624 You‘re right, of course. I think I got tripped up on that one line and never got to what was actually being said. 😂😂 23h
Librarybelle I did at first too, @Suet624 ! There have been a couple of passages I‘ve had to reread to make sure I understood the message. 😂 23h
Suet624 Thanks for your understanding. 😊💕 23h
Librarybelle No worries at all, @Suet624 ! 😊❤️ 23h
rwmg @Suet264 Since he mentions the “passionate“ youth perhaps he's saying that yes, the hearts of older people might be sensitive to the oppressed but the young have the energy and passion to do something about it. 11h

While I'm enjoying the daily tree for the #NaturaLitsy buddy read, I'm bailing on our #MidwinterSolace read after just 13 minutes listening. The author shared two classic pieces of bad advice as "good advice" including changing how you feel about your bad situation and looking at someone else's bad situation so you know yours isn't so bad. This is harmful in many contexts and encourage people to dismiss their lived experiences. @AllDebooks

TheBookHippie Agree. I bailed too. Blech. Loving the tree book. 2d

It seems so relevant today to quote Martin Luther King for today's #MondayMoments

Happy MLK day.

CatLass007 @dabbe There are very few places less terrifying than our country. 10h
CatLass007 @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit I think this is a wonderful idea! This is one of the many reasons I love Litsy. We‘re not just a group of people who love books, we‘re a group of people who care about each other. We care about the world at large. I am looking for mentally healthy and constructive ways to resist the fascist oligarchy in which most of us live. Is there a tag list for #MentalHealthMonday? Or for the self-care group you mentioned? (cont)⬇️ 10h
CatLass007 If so, please add me to the tag list. 10h
AllDebooks @CatLass007 Thank you for your kind words. I'm with you 💯 x There isn't a taglist for #hyggehour just the hashtag. I'll add you to the #LitSolace event taglist. This is a wellbeing, self-care group that runs all year. The biggest events are around the solstice and we use #MidwinterSolace running until end of Jan and #MidSummerSolace. Welcome x 6h
dabbe @CatLass007 🩶🖤🩶 6h
CatLass007 @AllDebooks Thank you for adding me to the #LitSolace tag. And thank you for the information about #HyggeHour and #MentalHealthMonday. 6h
