I haven't. It looks interesting, and I'm intrigued by some of the stuff she seems to be doing. That said, there seem to be a lot of Amazon reviews that say it's a lot more about her personal experience and rather thin on practical strategies. But I'd say if you like what you're reading, keep on with it. If you're looking for a good read that will help with some practical tips, I highly recommend Brené Brown's 'Gifts of Imperfection".
I’ve read it, and I like some of the points, but others are hard to understand. Like when she suggests getting curious about emotion, how can you get curious if you don’t know why you’re feeling the way you’re feeling? Are there any book clubs you know of that discuss these books, or would you be able to help me understand it?
I can try and offer insights into Brené's book. Let me know what you need clarification on. As far as getting curious about emotion... you don't need to start with the why. You can pay attention to what you're feeling, and give thought to where in your body you feel it, and what it feels like. Explore and think about when you've felt that way before, and perhaps try to remember back to the first time you felt that feeling... and then explore what was going on around you at that time.
There’s a part in the section about resilience that talks about setting realistic goals (Knowing where you want to go in life and how). But I have no idea what my purpose is. I have tried praying, being vulnerable, but I still can’t figure it out. How can you set realistic goals relating to your purpose if you don’t know what it is?
Sometimes the realistic goal is to find out what your purpose is. For what it's worth, I suspect that very, very few people still in their teens know what they're going to do with their lives. And often, those who think they know end up doing something else later. So what you can do is to set goals within your control. Things like "I want to explore possibilities about the directions I might go, and try out some different things." So maybe one example of that could be "By the end of 2020, I want to have explored x number of possible careers, talked to people in those careers, and thought about what appeals to me" It's all about starting at the beginning.
