CH 1-2
One thing I learned: On page 12, I learned that " Those willing to embrace complexity are offered some immunity from the sense of"being stuck" that afflicts so many, from the feeling that the system can't be changed, that we have to accept famine, disease or war as inevitable" (pg 12).
One thing I connected to my own experience: On page 7, the author pointed out that the world frequently compares work to technology. I often am guilty of expecting myself to work continuously, like a machine, but I must realize that I was made to rest, as well as work.
One question: On page 37, the author was discussing Jeff Brown's story in more depth. I wondered how we're supposed to react to a situation that we feel called to fix. He said that we shouldn't ignore the calling out of fear of being alone and I question how to conquer those fears in a big city like Birmingham.
