I find it interesting that when faced with deciding with book to buy, it seems like the answer is to get the one that had been published more recently.
For Anne's previous book ('Reading People'), I was excited in spending time immersed in a book which has squished a lot of the popular personality types. I myself have leant more into the knowledge that I'm an Outgoing Introvert, a Detailed (Enneagram 1) Dragon (Enneagram 8), and have Rebel-Obliger tendencies.
One of the first Personality Tests I've gone through is the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and it's probably the one I refer to the least. Maybe because I kind of like more of a deconstructed approach?
I noticed that being mostly a Dragon is also similar to being a Rebel. Not exactly the same because those who lean into detail (Ones) could have mostly Upholder Tendencies.
One think I am still skeptical about is tendencies changing. For example: A woman who I recently crossed paths with claims that she was an extrovert before and now she's an introvert because of hurtful experiences. I'm more of the belief that she was affected by the betrayals. That she might have been an Introvert all along.
Though you're probably waving your arms and reminding me that there are those who sit where Extroverts and Introverts are and are able to get the most out of both worlds.
As for 'Don't Overthink It', I found myself struggling to keep going. I'm not sure what it was. Maybe it's because I had a good Gut Feel of 'Reading People' that I didn't want to give up on this one? It could also be me wanting to sit with discomfort. That I see it as an opportunity to increase my Patience Threshold.
Part of me feels like the book isn't for me. That I'm not an overthinker and really would Rip The Band-Aid when I get to a certain point. What seems like overthinking might just be that part of myself that gets scared of the consequences. It's usually fuelled by past betrayals.
Oh Mente Divina Infinita
Através do meu amado Eu Superior
Limpe esta unidade de toda a negatividade,
Tanto dentro como fora,
Que pode ser um recipiente perfeito para
Sua presença.
"In search for acceptance and validation, some of us forget the type of flower we were meant to bloom from the seed that was planted when we were born." - Laura Chung
While looking for titles available about Manifestation, I came across Laura's book. I was a bit unsure because of the cover. That it was indicative that the contents weren't mindfully put together or developed well.
But when I saw the contents? This sounds like the book I've been waiting for. I'm now keen on looking at the Table Of Contents of the other two books that will be making its way to my library (Though technically it'll be the library I'll be sharing with Bear --- it's just staying with me at the moment.)
Here are some that stood out:
- Self Worth
- Rewilding (I'm somehow reminded of what Glennon Doyle talks about in 'Untamed')
- Act As If
- Shadow Work
- Gratitude
- Taking Inspired Action
It seems like Laura is my kind of person: she believes that what is good for us is also good for the world. Which means, when I plan to manifest something...or go through the process of manifestation...
...I will get the best results if I also consider how what I want to manifest would be good for the society I live in. This is similar to what Christiane Turner mentions in 'Quantum NLP': that when we become successful, the people around us benefit.
