By EE changing me, I mean that I will actively participate, be open, not block off things. Being a passive spectator will probably change nothing. I also hope that the EE group will facilitate personal change.
I don't think it is necessarily clear how to live - Montaigne devoted a whole, famous book to this. We have new immigrants here in Sweden, for example, that don't know what is possible for them (go weightlifting? ride bikes? etc.) and I think something similar - horizon widening - is possible for everyone.
Point taken on the self esteem. Hopefully the IC won't just say pablum "you are worth it intrinsically".
Why not see a presumed expert on personal change, such as an IC? I don't understand your problem with this. Shall I read personal change books by myself and not ask for external support?
I do things with my kids, cook, ski, hang out, used to read a lot to them, still bring them books. Yes, I feel isolated from them, but how do I get closer? I would like to have a role model for this - .
