Growing Up: how to be likeable, advice from Jordan Peterson & melb visit
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today.
Twice in four days! To what do we owe the pleasure. Hopefully this hasn't pushed your inboxes over the edge…
I have a time sensitive announcement, hence sending this early (see below).
But first…
I saw this on Twitter:
Three things that will make you 5x more likable:
- Never complain about anything
- Stop blaming other people or circumstances for your current situation
- Don’t criticise anyone ever (esp to other people when they aren’t around)
(From Nick Huber @sweatystartup)
And if you don’t care about being liked, the same probably applies wrt being respected.
This week on Growing Up with Delia Burgess
Ep. 77 - Delia & Neil: construction, life purpose, breakups & depression
Neil and I recorded this episode in August 2022, before I’d published the first Growing Up episode…
There’s a long preamble where I also share some advice Jordan Peterson gave me last week. It probably applies to everyone.
Enjoy xx
P.S. Growing Up in Melbourne: A reader of this newsletter once suggested that I host a gathering for all my “Melbourne fans” when I’m next visiting. Well I’m going to be in Melbourne in two weeks, and it’s happening! As hanging out with me probably isn’t the most exciting thing in the world, I’m also inviting previous podcast guests. So if you’re around and are interested in coming by, send me a message and I’ll make sure you get the info. Look forward to catching up.
xx Delia

Hiiiiiii, I'm back! Okay this email is v intense but v powerful... So, remember when I sent you: Growing Up: how to be a good dom & dead birds about the book Unbound: a Woman's Guide to Power by Kasia Urbaniak. You know, the taoist nun / dominatrix lady? And this quote: "Many of us prefer to deny that power dynamics exist, outside of games played by greedy, dishonest manipulators. But, like gravity, just because you deny the existence of something doesn't mean it doesn't affect you." (the...
Guys hello!!!! I have missed you. It has been weeks since I have written and not a moment has gone past where I haven't thought of you. Just kidding. But honestly I have been meaning to write every week for about the last 6 weeks. How rude of me to last time say "hey I'm going to write a lot more frequently again", and then to ghost you. That's like f**kboy behaviour no? Anyway here we are. (fboy definition for my Dad to avoid being accused of swearing for the sake of it:F**kboy: A guy who...
