The Practice of Groundedness

Preaching to the choir? Maybe. But the principles laid out in this book really resonate with my experience and personal philosophies. I like the sampling of examples the author chose to illustrate each, and I think he has fairly practical advice for incorporating groundedness more into your life. A great read for athletes, those struggling with mental health, and corporate crazies.

This is just a mismash of ideas that have obviously had some meaning to the author in his life. Including the mindless repetition of the idiotic habit dogma around operant conditioning. Drives me crazy that people just repeat what is fashionable without actually validating it for themselves.

Halfway through I thought to myself, “This would've been better in physical form.” Not because the content is bad or something doesn't work for me, but it's one of the books I would've gone through to highlight some paragraphs to really take them in and remind myself, as well as looking up full quotes that are referenced.

I still enjoyed the book, but if I choose to read another one of his books, I will buy them as a paperback.

I also felt a lot of what I listened to was like.. “Well, duh.” But it was still nice to hear and, there are indeed some suggestions within the book to get things going.
