Parisa Fitz-Henley Instagram – The bad news doesn’t let up, but I find that without tools to support me through difficulties I get pulled way under and end up unable to do anything to push back. With that in mind I wanted to share a book that’s been powerful for me in many ways, a book I’ve revisited and will continue to revisit time and again for its wisdom, encouragement and good company — The Practice of Groundedness: A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds—Not Crushes—Your Soul, by @bradstulberg. This book covers a wide range of challenges and tools from the perspective of someone who knows about success inside and out. He shares as both a coach of high-achieving folks in several disciplines, and from a vulnerable personal perspective as a high-achiever himself who’s lived through the pitfalls of material success and courageously opens up about the process. He shares grounded ways to balance the material, emotional, mental, social and spiritual aspects of life to have a fuller, healthier life in all ways. Whether you’re trying to build a career, dismantle a system, build a family, or generally recover from life’s life-ing there are lessons here that apply. And whether it’s this book or another resource (please feel free to share those you love in the comments) I hope you’re finding ways to not just grind, hustle, and plow through challenges, but to grow, give yourself grace, and thrive. Wishing you all the very best! 📚 ✨ Video description: Me to camera, sitting in front of a window. I have medium brown skin, and dark brown eyes and hair. My hair is pulled into a bun.
