I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 205: A Highly Anticipated Book
I heard Judy Johnson speak at the end of June at a secular student leadership conference. She was a great speaker and an expert when it comes to dogmatic mindsets. Having enjoyed her speech so much, I bought her book the next day.
Result: I've now read over 200 pages, and I'm not impressed with the book. At all. I'm not saying that the material isn't good; but the book is VERY long--over 500 pages long. I feel like I can sum up all of what I've read by saying that there are different types of dogmatic beliefs, and a dogmatic belief system is caused by anxiety of uncertainty and of being wrong. I just wish that this book was shorter and more condensed.
