I picked up Letting Go not during a crisis but in a quiet season where everything looked fine on the outside, yet inside I felt heavy. I was carrying old fears, emotional patterns, and constant tension in my chest that I couldn’t name. I didn’t want more strategies or steps. I wanted relief. I wanted to stop gripping so tightly to things I couldn’t fix. Dr. David Hawkins’ book didn’t meet me with hype. It met me with stillness. It offered a simple and powerful message. Freedom comes not by doing more, but by letting go of what you no longer need to carry. His writing is calm, compassionate, and deeply wise. It feels like being in the presence of someone who has lived through ego and come out the other side. Here are 7 profound lessons that shaped how I now approach emotion, control, and peace: 1. Surrender Is Not Giving Up. It Is Letting Go of Resistance Many people fear that surrender means defeat. Hawkins redefines it as the act of releasing inner resistance to what is. You stop tryi...

The stranger across the table is not as knowable as you assume—and that assumption can be deadly. Gladwell weaves together stories of spies, police brutality, suicide, and social psychology to reveal a haunting truth: our instincts for reading people often fail us, especially when it matters most. Here’s what stuck with me: 1. We default to truth—even when we shouldn’t Humans are hardwired to believe what others say until given overwhelming evidence not to. This “truth-default theory” makes society function, but it also makes us vulnerable to deception. 2. We are terrible at reading strangers We assume we can read faces, gestures, and tones accurately—but cultural and individual differences often make our snap judgments dangerously wrong. 3. Transparency is a myth We expect people’s emotions to match their expressions. But many people mask, miscommunicate, or express emotions differently. The face does not always reveal the truth. 4. Context matters more than we think We often ignore s...

Reading Nina Power’s What Do Men Want? felt like sitting in a candid, cross-gender conversation—part social critique, part earnest plea for understanding. As a feminist writer, Power dares to ask uncomfortable questions about modern masculinity, not to side with one gender over another, but to uncover what men are craving in a world that often dismisses their struggles. I approached the book braced for controversy and I got it. But I also got compassion. Power balances critique of toxic power structures with empathy for men caught in the crossfire of rapid cultural transformations. Her tone is both disarming and unapologetic: she defends virtues like courage, loyalty, and fatherhood without ignoring the shadows of entitlement and patriarchy. In doing so, she offers a space where both women and men can find common ground, and maybe even playful peace. 🔍 6 Lessons That Stayed With Me 1. Men Want to Be Good—God, They Do. Despite stereotypes of entitlement and aggression, Power’s conversa...
