Great listen for personal growth!

Another great audiobook by Jordan! I was excited to listen to this book, especially since I got so much out of his last book. In this book again, I was able to relate to my daughter and have her be the symbol of Stoicism in my life and be the bouncing board in learning more about being Stoic. In the last book, I learned that my daughter was an HSP and the superpower it gave her. In this book, I learned that her other superpower is that she is strong, has grit, and sticks to her ways. Some people have told her that she is numb/feelingless, but she is obviously far from that. We are opposites and I have had to learn and grow so much as I parented her. It is amazing to learn about her personality even more (and as she is growing more) and be able to encourage her in her growth and have words to describe her! I love that I can look at my daughter and want to be more like her, the tools in the book will help ground me in my emotions which is something I am always looking for. I just want to grow and be a better version of myself and this book definitely does that and helps you identify the people in your life who are living this way already! I highly recommend this audible!
