Abby Falik invites us to explore the shaky foundation we call trust. A world dominated by metrics and credentials seems to push genuine trust to the sidelines, creating a low hum of suspicion that’s hard to ignore. Falik emphasizes that trusting ourselves is the first step toward rekindling trust in others. It’s about being real with who we are, instead of striving for some unattainable standard of perfection.
Yet, this journey isn’t just a personal endeavor; it’s an essential survival skill for our society. When we let go of the constant need for control, we might just create a ripple effect of trust that transforms our relationships and communities. Imagine a world where trusting someone doesn’t feel like a gamble—just maybe, that’s the kind of flourishing we can hope for if we embrace the messiness of being human. After all, who couldn’t use a little more faith around here?
