Uncomfortable takeaways from 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think

Описание: 📘 I picked up 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think without knowing what to expect. I assumed it’d be a bunch of random perspectives, but it ended up challenging a lot of things I hadn’t fully faced.

I usually avoid books in the self-help space because they tend to repeat the same (often true) ideas. But this one felt different. It wasn’t trying to give me answers. It pointed to thoughts and habits I’d quietly accepted, and asked me to look again.

In this video, I’m sharing 4 reflections that felt especially relevant to where I am right now. They weren’t necessarily comforting. They stuck because they made me pause.

🧠 A few things that stayed with me:
1. The way we judge or admire others says more about ourselves than we realise.
2. Overthinking can feel like insight, but sometimes it’s just avoidance.
3. Our brains chase what’s familiar—not what’s right or good.
4. Passion can be real, but it can also be a distraction from something deeper.

This was a borrowed copy, but I’ll probably get my own just to revisit these ideas again, especially the ones that felt uncomfortable. If you decide to read it, maybe don’t look for advice. Just notice what lingers. That might be the part worth paying attention to.
