Thank you for your great review on "Connecting the Dots" by Lia Russ. The title of the book refers to the process of connecting each piece of information, or dot, to create a more enlightened individual. For example, she discusses intuition, spirituality, meditation, and science. This sounds like an interesting read so after reading the sample on Amazon, I decided to put this book on my shelf. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

Many limiting societal opinions keep us from reaching our true and full potential. It takes enlightenment, determination and courage to question and break out of these limiting thoughts that hold people in mediocrity.
Lia Russ's 'Connecting the Dots' provides that enlightenment and is a rich well of experience and researched thoughts to help people rightly connect their true selves to others and nature.

Although I don't read self-help books, this one does draw my attention. It seems a bit different from the norm. A person's biggest critic is oneself and I admit that is one of my biggest problem. So I might just learn something from this. Thanks for an insightful review. Congrats on BOTD and thanks for the free book.

Connecting the dots: ancient wisdom, modern science by Lia Russ presents us with a new paradigm about how we are connected, not only to our bodies but to our families, friends, nature, and other living things around us. These connections exist not only at the present time, they go as far as our ancestors from whom we inherited not only our genes but also emotions and trauma that are passed on from generation to generation.
These dots are the expression of connections among topics that may appear not related at first, so we must search beyond orthodox thinking. The author confronts us with a lay out of information that may seem unrelated: physical, psychosocial, intellectual, energetic and psychospiritual aspects, all of whom are influenced by the culture, religion, school system, peers, workplaces, epigenetics inheritance and ancestors or history.
The path for a healthier life is to realize that we can heal ourselves now being aware that trauma may be in the past, ours and from our ancestors.

I like the idea of challenging paradigms so that we aren't limited or held down by social constructs. This book seems like it'll be a great read. However, I don't read nonfiction, so I'll have to skip this one.

Thank you for sharing this helpful review of “Connecting the Dots” by Lia Russ. It's interesting how our viewpoints shape our understanding and how questioning them can lead to new ideas and growth. We often underestimate our abilities, and sometimes it takes a change in perspective—like Russ teaching English in Japan—to see the hidden strengths within us. Congratulations to the author, #BOTD!
Life is a play where we are the actors and the audience, We laugh and cry, love and hate, create and destroy,
We seek to know ourselves and others, to belong and to be free, We accept what we can and change what we must.

As someone who procrastinates alot and overthinks before trying to change anything,this book will be helpful for me. I believe we are brought up on social paradigms from childhood and it someimes blocks our view of seeinging ourselves differently. I will surely read the book . Thanks for the review!

Love the thoroughness in your review! I'm someone who's interested in how the mind works, how habits are formed and how we are raised affects our way of thinking. There's a huge scope around how much you have in you that you don't realise. This book seems to match this interest and I look forward to reading this book soon!!
