“It’s the literary version of ‘In case of emergency break glass.’” I enjoyed this conversation about Pema Chodron’s “When Things Fall Apart,” a book well suited to this collective moment in time.

Yesterday I tried a virtual run--jogging in place indoors while watching this video of a run on Zodiak Island, Alaska and listening to my favourite playlist.

Drawing on scientific research and personal experience, authors and friends Lynne Everatt, Deb Mangolt, and Julie Smethurst created Acts of Friendship: a comprehensive, fun and hilarious how-to on overcoming disconnection in our increasingly isolating world. Divided into 47 activities to strengthen friendships old and new, Acts of Friendship is designed to give friends the time and space to reconnect with each other—as well as with their environment, their emotions and their values. Make a “chuck-it” list of things you’ll never do; go on and hike in order to let go of old grudges; communicate your gratitude through haiku. Embark on collective action to reduce your carbon footprint; luxuriate in chocolate facials to rebuke conventional beauty standards; discover your inner child by puzzling over an “ages eight and up” toykit; or host a “Dinner of Truth” and lovingly confront your most annoying traits. In an era of individualism and isolation, Acts of Friendship is a powerful guide to unity and empathy, reminding us that only through deepening our bonds with both the people and the world around us can we arrive at lasting fulfillment #actsoffriendship #workplacewellbeing . …see more
