54 分钟I think sometimes it's.
There is so much to be grateful for, and I experience that, and I've learned that has absolutely nothing to do with the level of pain.
They just can both be true.
And somebody who has had all the comforts in life can be suffering a great deal internally.
And somebody who has none of them can be incredibly joyful and grateful.
And they just have to put my attention on the fact that those are just two different.
They're unrelated things.
Today's guest, Leah Perlman, grew up in Denver, Colorado.
One of my favorite places, actually, as a kid.
Incredibly motivated academically and also put an incredible amount of pressure on herself to excel and perform.
That led her into a pretty dark place that she kept secret for the better part of a decade of her life.
During that same decade, she ended up going to university and then being one of the early team members at Facebook, where she actually proposed what became the like button, which ties in in a really powerful way with the need to be liked on a very personal level.
That led her to a moment of awakening a couple years into that position that actually sent her out of the world of technology and deep into the world of exploring her inner self and into artistry.
Something she had thought for the vast majority of her life was just not worth anything.
That journey also led to a new book called Dharma Comics that we're going to dive into and where that whole thing evolved from.

This is good life project.
So good to be hanging out with you.
Thank you.
Likewise.
