“All problems are interpersonal relationship problems. To get rid of your problems, all you can do is live in the universe all alone. But you can't do that. We are all suffering in interpersonal relationships.” - from The Courage to Be Disliked. I bought a Christmas chocolate box recently and started wondering what would happen if I would eat my favourite chocolates and leave all the Bounty behind.
Loved every part of it, Mariana (and I’m a huge fan of Esther Perel too): the 4 points about relationships nowadays (crazy to think that some years ago the 2 first didn’t exist because there wasn’t social media 😱), the belonging and cultural adaptation, and the metaphor of course. And thanks for sharing your personal experience, I come from a very similar background.
I think our upbringing is what has the bigger effect on our Chocolate mindset, and a great way to challenge that is to seek new challenges such as living abroad, going to places where we wouldn’t usually go, or reading/listening to people with different views. Even watching TV shows has helped me to change my view on some things.
