“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” ― Carl JungThe other day I was chatting with my daughter on Zoom. At one point in the conversation she asked me, “So what did you do today mom?” I told her I’d taken in too much news in the past week and had been feeling the heaviness of our times.

The book is relatively short, but chock-full of insights, stories and practical advice when navigating the very real challenges of our times.
