• The Uplift wisdom library
• The RedFrost motivation YouTube channel

If you’d like to dive deeper, try this contemplative reading exercise from Greater Good. Here is an abbreviated version of the practice:

Gather together with a wisdom text. (Check out the Uplift wisdom library for suggestions.) Start with one minute of silence.

• Read the entire text aloud slowly. Each person can read one or two lines, then pass the reading to the next reader.
• After the whole text has been read, hold silence for one minute to reflect.
• Read through the text again, slowly, passing from person to person.
• Hold silence for one minute to reflect again.
• Each person takes a turn to share one word of the text that stands out, without explaining why.
• Hold a final minute of silence to close.
• If desired, allow each person to share what the practice was like for them or if they had any insights.
