Book Summary

This week's book is "The Practice of Groundedness" by Brad Stulberg

Combining Modern science with time-honored lessons from ancient traditions like Buddhism, Stoicism, and Taoism. THE PRACTICE OF GROUNDEDNESS Shares a more sustainable and healthier model for success. The Core of this model is Groundedness- a practice that values presence over rote productivity prioritizes long-term gains over the short term and Believes in forming a deep community and possessing an unwavering foundation.

Here are 6 Principles that you can implement in your life:

1. Accept where you are, to get you where you want to go - Seeing clearly, accepting, and starting where you are Not where you want to be, Not where you think you should be, Not where other people think you should be. But where you are.

2. Be present so you can own your attention and energy- Being present, both physically and mentally, for what is in front of you, spending more time fully in this life, not thoughts about the past or future.

3. Be patient and you'll get there faster- Giving things time and space to unfold. Not trying to escape life by moving at warp speed, Not expecting instant results, and then quitting when they didn't occur.

4. Embrace vulnerability to develop genuine strength and confidence - Showing up authentically. Being real with yourself and with others. Eliminating the cognitive dissonance b/w your workplace self, your online self, and your actual so that you can know your true self.

5. Build deep community - Nurturing genuine connection and belonging, prioritizing not just productivity, but people, too. Immersing yourself in a supportive space will hold and bolster you through ups and down and that will give you the chance to do the same for others.

6. Move your body to ground your mind - By Regularly moving your body so that you fully inhabit it, connect it to your mind, and as result become more firmly situated wherever you go.
