Ep 42: Falling in Love with Rejection with New York Times bestseller, Harlan Cohen

This week was so much fun, I got to hang out with New York Times Bestselling author, Harlan Cohen, and he shared so many powerful nuggets of wisdom. We kicked off the conversation talking about food (as one does in The Diner) and that led to an interesting conversation about having (or in Harlan’s case not having) strong opinions. We talked about conflict, the power of mindfulness and meditation, and then, my favorite topic, shame. He told me about this cool experiment he did where he kept track of and tried to eliminate when he would shame himself and others. After shame, we scooted over to the other side of the booth to talk about rejection (we really know how to party!) and he told us about his new book that’s out called, “Win or Learn” that’s all about the beauty of rejection. And get excited, because it’s a picture book! I could go on for days about how good this conversation was, but you’ll have to check it out for yourself!
