Love this so much! If you're taking suggestions, I think Brandon Keim's Meet the Neighbors might be a good fit!

linguiniOP

omg i feel so seen, this is a perfect book to add thank you so much for understanding what i'm trying to do

celinewyp

Glad to help! I can't be sure I get the vibe, but I think so. And I really love this concept.

linguiniOP

eheh ok i changed the title i think this one has better vibes

celinewyp

Too cute! I really did like the previous iteration, though. I think both work. Maybe you could add your previous one in the description? Especially since it's in a hashtag format, it'd fit well!

linguiniOP

i feel like you get it! i also feel i could do a better job titling it to better reflect the intention... the idea is like challenge what you take for granted, shake yourself out of the framework you were given and the narrative you were sold, and take action on what you learn when you do? reading for your better angel or something

Love it so much! It can cover a lot of bases while being quite specific, actually.
