The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Tim Keller is one of the best books I have ever read, and the main idea is that we strive to live in the self-forgetful spot between feeling inferior and superior, where we gain freedom from self-centeredness. Feelings of inferiority stem from an unhealthy concept of 'humility' that says that being humble looks like thinking less of yourself. Superiority stems from a puffed-up ego and from pride. The goal is to hit that sweet spot between these where you are free from self deprecation AND self obsession -- and therefore you are able to simply think of yourself less.
Wellness matters. It means self care in eating, exercising, sleeping and cultivating deep and meaningful connections to family, friends, community
