The introduction begins with the story of Stu in hospital, where his wife was sitting in an emergency room. She had been unwell for some time and the doctor said she needed to have a blood transfusion as a matter of urgency. Stu’s description of how he was trying to comfort her reminded me of when my husband did a similar thing for me many years ago from complications of hysterectomy. Needless to say, Stu had my undivided attention and I had to just keep reading to discover what other gems he was going to uncover for me. Not only did he uncover other gems but he posed many challenges at the same time.
It is hard to narrow down what parts of this book meant the most to me, but one quote from chapter 3, which talks about being meek, comes close. When Stu says “The temptation to keep measuring myself against others who “do” awesome things is always with me, ...” I thought to myself - “I’m not the only one who does this.” It was reassuring to know that this is a normal experience.
The rest of the book continued in this vein with challenges around almost every corner. I enjoyed it immensely and would love to read more of Stu’s work and to re-read this one at some stage.… (altro)
