Mastering the art of speech is not a talent, but a skill anyone can learn.

Anyone can improve their speaking ability through education, practice, and feedback.

@pattitelford778 @morganhousel Thanks Patti!

I've got this on my must-read list 😃

I also enjoyed Morgan Housel's "Psychology of Money."

What’s the single best book you’ve read so far this year?

[Sean NZ 🚢 @seanNZ23]

For me, this was the best book I read this year:

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams

I read it to get better at:

• Skill building
• Systems thinking
• Public speaking

Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to do the same.

@EmJoServices Sharing your writing is key.

Also, supporting other writers often leads to more learning for you.

Inspiring each other is a win-win 😃

@david_perell I'm meeting plenty of people online and in person.

But I could be more deliberate about meeting people in person who I first connect with online.

@onewritingman Great insight!

I agree, except for two caveats.

What community are you a part of that nurtures your growth?

[Sean NZ 🚢 @seanNZ23]

[Sean NZ 🚢 @seanNZ23]

The power of community is a strong motivator, especially when people are there to nurture your growth.

From Esther Perel, on the Feel Better Live More Podcast: Relationships and How They Shape Us.

My takeaway: These themes matter more than specific issues in our relationships.
