Today’s book: Lessons for Living by Phil Stutz—an essential collection of tools and truths from one of the world’s top therapists on how to turn pain into power and live with purpose.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Life = pain, uncertainty, and constant work. You don’t get to choose the conditions—but you do choose your response.
- Action is the antidote. When you’re stuck, move. When you’re afraid, engage. Action creates momentum.
- Use the Tools. Phil’s visual mental techniques—like The Reversal of Desire and The Grateful Flow—help rewire your response to fear, frustration, and inertia.
- Turn problems into practice. Life isn’t about avoiding hardship—it’s about using it to grow stronger and more awake.
- Keep reaching for the higher version of yourself. That part of you—the one beyond fear and ego—is always there, ready to lead.
Suffering is part of life. How you meet it determines who you become. What tool will you practice today?
