In this episode, I go over the points made in The Courage To Be Disliked that resonated with me the most. 

I've had trouble with this type of behavior: I've always been so confined by my fears of some scrutinizing judgement of me by my peers. By speaking up, I am exposing more of myself than I would like. But the things I've learned (and continue to learn) and have gained from speaking up are tremendous. But how did I do it? And do I still have trouble?

I mean, is that possible? To endure being disliked? I have yet to truly discover this, but I really want to introduce you all to this book I am currently listening to (in audiobook version). I find this book to be one of the more fascinating ones I've read, especially in its format and approach to  topic deconstruction. In this podcast, I talk about what I've been learning while reading the book, and the philosophy is behind it.

Taking Initiative is being proactive, assertive, and letting the world know what you want.

In this episode, I discuss my own challenge this week with this idea of beauty and whether or not I see myself as such. I also talk about a subject I discussed in the second episode (seeking approval) and how that is truly connected with our own self image. 

This podcast is about seeking approval and how it can impede on your own journey of self-love.
