In this beautiful conversation–in which Glennon names Cole’s book “This Here Flesh” the Next Right Book–we discuss:
1. What we learned from Cole’s insight that, “If you’re not in your body, someone else is.”
2. A mind-blowing revelation about all of our own faces that we will never stop thinking about.
3. Why the phrase “If you don’t believe you’re beautiful, no one else will” is horseshit.
4. Why dignity is the bedrock to being alive–and how to find it when we haven’t been loved well.
5. The connection between fear and awe–and how to practice wonder as a cure for despair.
