58 分钟I'm a recovering food and alcohol addict, but I still find myself missing booze in the same twisted way we can miss those who repeatedly beat us and leave us for dead.
And I wrote that and I was like, that's exactly right.
That's how I feel.
Like that's not something I'm ever allowed to say in real life.
Today's guest, Glennon Doyle Melton, is the author of a really fascinating, raw, powerful new memoir called Love Warrior.
We dive into the story in that a tiny bit, but truth is, we actually zoom the lens out in this conversation a whole lot more.
We go deep into what she's about these days, into who she is and to what she's creating in the world, and to how her introverted social nature interacts with leading essentially a new movement, the construction of almost like a new faith, and how traveling around has changed her.
We also really explore how she handles the separation between being fiercely public and transparent and at the same time trying to preserve privacy and how that's shifting in a really major way as she thinks about what gets let out and what gets kept completely private over the next few years.
A lot of deep conversation, a lot of probably provocative ideas here and some even controversial ideas.
Something that is going to leave you thinking about your assumptions and about the way you move into the world.
Really excited to share this conversation.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
So what if you could take the wisdom from years of conversations like this, distill it into a single short and sweet operating manual that gave you something to do every day in order to move from where you are to living a lit up life.
That's what I've created with my new book, how to live a good Life, appropriately titled.
I hope it's really it's an operating manual that draws from literally thousands of hours of research, hundreds, actually, maybe even thousands now, of hours of learning and sitting at the feet of astonishing teachers and traveling the world to create something simple, a beautiful, simple model, and something to do every single day for you to make a really big difference in your lives.
If you want to check it out, go to goodlifeproject.com book.
You can read the first chapter completely for free, and then it is available for purchase at booksellers all over the place.
You can find a link in the show notes as well.
Onto our show, we're hanging out.
It's the morning after for you, this really cool event that you did at Bam, which is in Brooklyn.
