Summary
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I realized I didn't look happy in the mirror. I was stuck at the same sports bar every Saturday with friends who talked about stuff I didn't care about. I had just broken off an engagement, and I was not respecting myself or my body. #2 I had never realized how important community was for my health and happiness. I had been a part of a children's nutrition education media company, Super Sprowtz, which helped inspire kids to eat their vegetables. But I had also seen how technology impacted the way kids connected with one another, as well as how it made them more sedentary and isolated. #3 I believe that the need to belong is a fundamental human need. It is a basic human need that affects not just our emotional well-being but our physical well-being too. #4 Community is the unifying ingredient that binds all four levels of my updated hierarchy of needs. Without a community supporting you at each level, it's nearly impossible to move up the hierarchy.
