    Selfish Humans

    I travel far Drifting slowly to my spot My friends surround me Reflecting the great Light in the sky We shed our layers Monsters with sharp lips arrive Forcefully pushing us together Scattering our enemies between Smaller creatures tear us apart A scraping drowns out all sound Helplessly thrown into a pile Broken

    Finding Balance: Lessons from “Aggressively Happy” and “Bittersweet”

    Aggressively Happy by Joy Marie Clarkson Bittersweet by Susan Cain I read these two books a while ago and really liked how they felt like two sides of the same coin. While the idea of comparing these books was my idea, OpenAI’s ChatGPT wrote the draft. I have testing out AI in my free time and wanted to test it out on a blog post. 🙂 Introduction In our fast-paced, ever-changing world, the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment often seems like an elusive goal. Two books, Joy Marie Clarkson’s Aggressively Happy: A Realist’s Guide to Believing in the Goodness of…
