Join 📚 Swapnil's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Swapnil's read, .
During my training, a supervisor once told me, “There’s something likable in everyone,” and to my great surprise, I found that she was right. It’s impossible to get to know people deeply and not come to like them. We should take the world’s enemies, get them in a room to share their histories and formative experiences, their fears and their struggles, and global adversaries would suddenly get along. I’ve found something likable in literally everyone I’ve seen as a therapist, including the guy who attempted murder. (Beneath his rage, he turned out to be a real sweetheart.)

The oldest story is that of two sides who don’t agree with each other.
The question “Why don’t you agree with me?” can have infinite answers. Sometimes one side is selfish, or stupid, or blind, or uninformed.
But usually a better question is, “What have you experienced that I haven’t that makes you believe what you do? And would I think about the world like you do if I experienced what you have?”

Staying in ANY relationship (friend, romantic, work) because you’ve already put X amount of work/time/effort into it is not the right frame.
Sunk costs.
Why waste another minute not seeking a more fulfilling relationship?
