Of the books I've recently read, [1] it's the one by Dan Savage that I wish I'd read sooner. The other books helped me change my habits, helped me see the influence Hitler has had on a recent POTUS, helped me change the way I see my life and helped me change the way I think, but Dan's book helped me understand relationships better—and I can't help but think that if I'd read it sooner I wouldn't have lost someone important to me.
I also recently watched The Fabelmans, which I appreciated, somewhat. I can't help but think, though, that if Burt and Mitzi hadn't limited their relationship the way they did and instead thought about relationships more like Dan Savage does—well, then they might not have lost each other the way they did.
[1] Atomic Habits by James Clear, Hitler: Ascent 1889-1939 by Volker Ullrich, Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dale Evans, Think Again by Adam Grant, Savage Love from A to Z by Dan Savage. Note: All books read as audiobooks.
