“I see something of myself in everyone.” Joni Mitchell
This was the theme all along the Asia trip last week. It is culturally easy to over and under assume differences across continents. Yet, the human condition has many threads that runs across the fabric of our commonness. So many of the stories we take personally are narratives that are alive in the collective consciousness.
When I ask people from radically different backgrounds what brings them joy, the resonance is immeasurable. This was certainly borne out in the global research I did for The Joy of Thriving.
