Congruency and books and balance by adventure

Here are a few random thoughts:

First, a thought I've been pondering: The goal in relationships is to be congruent. To be able to be who I am on the inside and able to express it. To be authentic.

Harville Hendrix – "Getting the Love You Want"
Irvin D. Yalom. "Existential Psychotherapy" (New York: Basic Books, 1980).
Robert S. McGee "The Search For Significance" (Thomas Nelson publisher)
Glasser, William. (1998). "Choice Theory: A new psychology of personal freedom". New York: Harper Collins.
"Existential Psychotherapy" by Irvin D. Yalom
Yalom’s "The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy"
I also want to read some Soren Kierkegaard on the concept of freedom (Kierkegaard, Søren. Perhaps "The Concept of anxiety", "Either/Or"

Third, a week and a half ago, from Wednesday to Thursday, I spent 78 hours working, in class, or studying. This week has been lighter, thankfully. As part of my goal to thrive and to live a balanced life, I'm hoping to pursue one adventure per month. At least. One day of climbing outdoors, or going on a hike. Or snowboarding. Or something adventurous. It feeds my hungry soul, clears my head, and brings me great joy.
