Clarity & Connection (The Inward Trilogy)

Beautifully written. Very on point insights regarding personal growth and interpersonal connection. Very happy with this book.

I find this book to be so uplifting and supportive of my mental health. Every morning I open the book and read one or two pages. Each page is set up with a basic idea or mantra or thought. I cannot recommend this book enough, it helps you put things in perspective in a way that is absolutely necessary these days. I strongly recommend to get this book and read one page a day and use that as your mantra for the day think about the ideas, the thoughts the philosophies for that page throughout your day. This book really helps you to get clarity not just on the world around you but on yourself.

Not sure how I first stumbled upon Pueblo's work, Inward but it certainly left a HUGE impression on me. I love his style and wisdom. I've been meaning to buy Clarity and Connection for a while - and finally did it. Once again, I find myself devouring his words and smiling. Both Inward and Clarity and Connection can be read linearly or opening at random. Highly recommend.

This is one of my favorite books. Insightful, short reads that keep you wanting more. Highly recommend adding this to your book shelf to grab on days where you might need a little extra self love.

I loved reading this book. I finished it within two day and if I had more free time the first day I would have finished it then. The book encouraged me to write a list of the patterns and impulsive actions I contribute to my life. I appreciate the author for making a well rounded and self informative book. I would recommend this book to everyone I know

Great insight, easy to read.

I have never encountered this author or his work before reading this book but was not surprised to learn, after finishing the book, that he began his thoughtful journey during a meditation course focused on the self. There is material on self-awareness, personal relationships, and society at large, but it all comes back to self. Life is trauma and recovery. Not trauma as we often think of it, perhaps, but the trauma of “jealousy, anger, doubt, and low self-worth.” And the recovery “is not about managing your emotions; it is about managing your reactions to your emotions” because “our reactions tell us what our mind has internalized from our past experiences.” And since each and every one of us has different experiences, everything starts with self. I can’t be in a healthy relationship at any level until I understand myself first. His vision of self is a very healthy one. He doesn’t promote participation awards. But he does suggest, rightly so, I think, that we “throw away the idea that you need to pause your life until you are fully healed.” Life is motion. “How many times have you been unable to fully enjoy a special moment because you couldn’t stop thinking about what was missing?” If you study Buddhism at all you will find a lot of familiar ground here although he only once, if my search worked correctly, mentions the word Buddha or Buddhism. That is very much to his credit, I think. Our language is not healing us at the moment, whatever language it is that you identify with. (And, yes, language does have both meaning and consequences.) There is a big emphasis on listening and what he refers to as “selfless listening.” As a consultant whose name I can’t recall once asked “Are you listening to respond [selfish] or to learn [selfless]?” (I paraphrase.) On a related note, however, he reminds us “not every thought is valuable.” (The old joke about not wanting to belong to any club that would have me as a member comes to mind.) It’s a good book and a very quick read. I read it in one sitting. I admire his studious avoidance of jargon and popular lingo although he lost his five stars toward the end when his prose started reading ever so slightly like a social manifesto. It’s a manifesto I agree with, for the most part, but manifestos of any stripe aren’t doing any of us much good at the moment. His perspective alone would have made a valuable contribution. He didn’t really need to tie it all up in a bow and it is a bow that will sadly turn some readers off. And I admit to sighing on almost the final page when he wrote, “fortunately, humanity is in the process of maturing. we are young, [his pen name means young people] but we are more open to learning, growing, and reorganizing our world than ever before. it is up to us to make compassion structural. [last sentence in italics]” (He uses no capitalization.) How I wish that were true, but I fear it isn’t. I do, however, think his compass is sound and points in the right direction. Life is motion. The key is to move ahead. And he is right when he asks and answers the question “which comes first—inner work or working to make the world a better place? the answer is that both can happen at the same time.”

I am currently in my "healing era" that I never knew could be possible and this along with the other two Inward trilogy books have helped so much. I love them.

This is my second time buying this book because I lost my first one. The paper is different and the font is much smaller thank th original one I bought form the bookstore.
