A note from Julia

P.3 Our culture today is obsessively focused on unrealistically positive expectations: Be happier. Be healthier. Be the best, better than the rest. Be smarter, faster, richer, sexier,more popular…Then you fly your helicopter to your wonderful fulfilling job, where you spend your days doing incredible meaningful work that’s likely to save the planet one day. But when you stop and really think about it, conventional life advice… it is actually fixating on what you lack…You learn about the best ways to make money because you feel you don’t have enough money already.
