“I should be grateful, but I still feel unfinished. If you've ever said that, this book was written for you.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

If your life looks great and feels flat

You've become fluent in the language of 'should be grateful' — and it's crowding out 'actually am.'
Your ambition didn't die; it just stopped being invited places.
You're the most together person you know and the most quietly stuck.

Try this tonight (5 minutes)

Set a 10-minute timer tomorrow morning and do one small thing your 'more' would do.

Why readers keep quoting it
