65: Like Streams to the Ocean by Jedidiah Jenkins

In episode 65, Gen and Jette discuss Like Streams to the Ocean, the latest from Jedidiah Jenkins, which covers all the things that make us who we are—ego, family, friends, home, work, and more. We loved Jedidiah’s first book, To Shake the Sleeping Self, and we loved his new one just as much! Jedidiah Jenkins is officially on our automatic buy list.

As with many of the books we love, we spend a lot of time gushing about Like Streams to the Ocean. But it’s also a book that sparks some really good conversation. We want every version of this book so we can listen to it, read it, and mark it up with notes. It’s full of insight and inspiration, and it’s the kind of book we’ll definitely come back to over and over again.
