This book is so timely. Although we have moved on from the pandemic, the affects of it haven't moved on from us and it's something I believe that needs to be worked on. Jody Carrington is a masterful storyteller. The way she expresses herself is very relatable. The book was what I think it may be like to go to therapy. I thought the book was good, but I have misgivings about the author and have for a while.
I haven't been much of a fan of Jody Carrington. She has been found guilty of misconduct and she talks like she's from red-neck Alberta (oh...she is) and she seems to mess up a lot. It makes her pretty human and definitely relatable. She definitely knows how to have those hard conversations and make amends.
Goodreads says:
Disconnection has become an epidemic, and it may require a revolutionary effort to get us back together — a reconnection revolution. Staying connected in this human race is the most direct route to happiness. But never have we been more disconnected. A call to simply connect isn’t enough any longer. Connection is what we’re wired for, and it can be waving at your neighbour, going on that second date, buying coffee for the person behind you. The hard part comes when we are called on to re connect, to repair or re-engage, especially after we’ve been wronged, alienated or hurt. We all desperately want to get it right, but this requires another step, which is the magic each of us so often the act of seeing. As simple as it is complex, it all comes down to this when we’re feeling seen, we will rise. Feeling Seen is a timely work with a timeless message. Written on a blueprint of theory, with a road map of reconnection (including three simple stops) and a way back for when we get lost, it leads to a place where all of those who share the human race will truly see—in ourselves as well as one another—our differences, our sorrows and our joys.
