How To Be Good At Life
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Before we talk about the book at all: what is one tiny thing you already do that makes your day feel better, even if it sounds silly out loud?
Which section did you find yourself drawn to first (body, mind, work, or relationships), and what does that say about what you were needing lately?
The book treats energy as something you can tend to rather than something you either have or do not. Did reading it change how you felt about your own tired days?
Was there a suggestion that felt like permission rather than pressure, something that let you off the hook instead of adding to the list?
The relationships material asks us to be intentional with the people we love. Who came to mind while you were reading, and did you reach out?
A lot of this book is about mornings, evenings, and the small shape of a day. What part of your own daily rhythm feels most comforting to you right now?
By the time you reached the later chapters, had your idea of what being good at life means softened or shifted? What does it mean to you now, in your own words?
If you could only carry one idea from this whole book into the next year, and you had to choose it based on what felt kindest to yourself rather than most impressive, what would it be?
