Such an enjoyable read. Besides the great writing, there is other great content hidden in this book: the illustrations. I just adored all those little illustrations and doodles that help you visualize a concept and stay on your mind more easily. (At least for a visual learner like me).
"Belong" is a book full advice and activities, or almost like homework, where the author presents you with actionable advice.
This book could be followed to the T and used as a blueprint with the various exercises and actions included in it, or just like a guide and inspiration to know where to start looking for a connection in your life. Personally, I prefer the option of finding inspiration and reading about some else's point of view and advice. I'm a free spirit, and can't always follow blueprints step by step, so I adapt it to my way of life, and of course, so can you.
For whatever reason you might be looking to connect with your community, this book is a great read. Maybe you changed jobs, moved, or started school/college in a new city. No matter the reason, this little book is sure to give you the nudge you need and with great ideas on how to get started.
And although the community building and "belonging" is the main focus of this book, it also has sections on self-awareness, to ask questions about yourself.
The part that impacted me the most is about her acronym D.O.S.E., and how we need a daily "D.O.S.E." of Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins.
