I struggle with this so much. With so many hours I spend working in an office every week without finding a way to be true to myself, I feel like I’m stuck on this societal treadmill that just wears me down. It’s so frustrating to constantly feel I’m not doing the right things without knowing what it IS I ‘should’ be doing to materialise my self-expression. I’ve had a lot of professional help but it hasn’t shed much light on it so far.

Anyway let’s not make this all about me! It sounds like an interesting book. I just preordered but I do not have a Kindle. Is there any alternative? Thanks! :)

As someone with no scientific background, what would be the best way for me to ever participate in an expedition short of arranging to go as a tourist? All my life I’ve felt fascinated by the environment but I’m not quite sure how to make the leap.

I guess The Lifeboat Mona would be a little depressing, yes :P

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing with us. I'd love to do this one day. No clue how to even get started on preparing for an endeavour like that. I don't think I have any relevant experience at all (except knowing how to sail a boat).

Any tips for someone like me? Thanks!

We are all storytellers.

With such a huge selection of different storylines going around in the world that are all spoken from a place of certainty and conviction in a world that is increasingly complex, I'm having trouble believing much of anything, including my own narrative. When I look outside I see so many people that seem committed to a commonly shared truth or storyline with such conviction, but when I look at the bigger picture in 2021 I mostly see evidence that this story doesn't quite nail it. And yet that's the story we keep breathing new life in day by day.

Considering the opportunities that rest in understanding and altering the narratives we construct our daily lives upon, as storytellers, how do we reinvent ourselves so that we can tell a different story? In addition, how do you see your own responsibility when telling your stories to others?
