@24in48 #24in48 got me like

saresmoore Haha! Yep. 6y
Zelma I commented to Mr. Z how I‘m trying to strengthen my left arm because my right is significantly stronger. He asked, in all seriousness, if that was my reading arm. 😂 6y
Jess7 Yes!!! I found trying to read straight through (other than sleeping) made me read slower and it was hard to stay focused for that long. But I made it 24 hours. Next time I might not worry so much about getting in 24 hours and just read and take more breaks. I think I would finish more books that way. 6y

Mehso-so

This is the first self help book I have ever read, but after 10 years of near constant pain and being faced with the possibility of risky surgery I figured why not give the book a shot. The key idea here is that several types of pain are actually the brain's way of getting you to ignore emotional pain in exchange for the "easier" to deal with physical pain. So in effect "your brain is causing your bad back." We will see if I improve.
