Like Attracts Like: Protecting Your Energy

Come back with me to 2018 to revisit my first book, The Less Effect: Design Your Life for Happiness & Purpose. I’m reading an excerpt from Chapter 4, “Like Attracts Like,” - a real snapshot of who I was then: a cluttered mess with questionable friendships and a little too much Netflix…oh, and anxiety I kept brushing off as “that’s just how I am.”We talk about why this work never ends and how to keep your peace living on this earth, aka full-time distraction machine. I get into how your stuff, your habits, your people, and your environment all have a say in your energy, your mood, and what you keep attracting (or repelling).
