Welcome to Litsy!

Okay, I'm most definitely projecting but, the part where the lesson of the book seems to be that you don't have to be perfect and giving all the time, you should take time for yourself, great, and okay, yes, you can't take on the responsibility of changing other people or cleaning up all their chaos, but...not a single hint of a recognition of the need for a change from the rest of Egg's roommates? 1/?

The Bad Seed and The Big Cheese wouldn‘t fit.

This was such a good book, starting with how to be quiet, find still space in nature, create relationships with friends, and be intentional. Unlike others, Odell takes those fairly familiar approaches and tools and looks at how to use them to break down “the attention economy” and move towards “manifest dismantling” of oppression and the increasing destruction of our planet. One I want to return to.

A very relevant study on women's much sought after work-life balance.
Sometimes we need a reminder time to time. To know that we are enough & we can be more & we can always get better not to please others but for ourselves.

The Good Egg by Jory John is about an egg that embarks on a self-care and reflection journey. The good egg is about finding healthy coping mechanisms and ways to feel good about yourself. This is a great great book that I hope to have readily available to my students when they need a reminder of how to cope or feel good.

This book is about a little egg who is all good but suddenly starts to crack all around from all the pressure that is put on him. He then makes the decision to leave behind the carton of other eggs to go on his own journey. He discovers along the way that he is at peace and is finally able to have some freedom and alone time.
