Listen "When Breath Becomes Air - 4 Lessons From Paul Kalanithi"

Episode Synopsis

When Breath Becomes Air, the book written by Dr. Paul Kalanithi, moved and inspired me. Many of you said you enjoy my takeaways about a particular book. So today I want to share some lessons from this piercing work. Recently, I read this book for the third time and got more from it this time than ever. I think the reason is that I’m older and have had more experiences. Some of them have been exhilarating. Others have been sobering. And I have also experienced grief more acutely. Even though the book is imbued with the wisdom of death looming, it is life-affirming. Reading it has definitely opened up my life. What I mention in this episode:Why the depth of experience I went through has made this book more precious to mePaul Kalanithi’s biography Four main lessons I learned from the bookWhat you’ll learn from it:The importance of deciding what’s really important to you to make the most of your timeHow to live in your questions rather than rushing to get answers The sacredness in finding the work you are meant to do on this EarthWhy you don’t have to explain the reason you like or dislike somethingI hope this book gives you the same goosebumps it gives me every time I read it. xo, KavethaPS- Want to create an unshakable foundation and cultivate meaningful relationships?My program for women, Heal Your Relationships, offers evidence-based tools, training, and community to build an unshakeable foundation and rock-solid relationships.In this 8-week program, you will get the HYR™ Framework and Tools, and weekly calls with certified coaches in a group environment and privately. Besides, you’ll be surrounded by a community of women who have each other’s back. Click here to learn more and connect for a breakthrough call with me: https://healyourrelationships.com/ In This Episode:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Emotional Mastery01:38 Today I have a special treat for you 03:58 Introduction to the book When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi06:55 General summary of the book 11:19 First lesson from the book16:47 Second lesson from the book19:03 Third lesson from the book 23:33 Forth lesson from the book   25:44 Connection of this book with the five remembrances  27:31 I would love to hear from you  FREE tools:Get FREE access to my ‘Conflict Cure’ mini-course, plus weekly relationship tools delivered straight to your inbox —> https://bit.ly/RelationalIQ-NewsletterNeed more customized support?
