Mary Robinson's Memoir - Everybody Matters.


Listen Later

Welcome to a memoir episode of the Playing Books Podcast. What lens have you used to divide people into, and accordingly, how do you treat others based on this division?

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss Mary Robinson’s memoir, Everybody Matters. We want to believe everyone is important and relevant, but in reality, we base who gets attention, opportunity, respect, and love on metrics that truly shape our beliefs, from upbringing, culture, education, and experience to wealth and subtle realities. 

Then, going by the belief that Everybody Matters, comes with undesirable, unfriendly, and unwelcoming consequences. Mary Robinson shares how believing that everybody is valuable isolated her, for example, her parents didn’t attend her wedding. Her dad was alive, but he didn’t walk her down the aisle.

This episode is packed with practical insights and realistic lessons. You will learn how many class beliefs divide Ireland, as they do the rest of the world. 

Women don’t matter. Catholics are the truest of all religious denominations. There are many such conclusions that only further hurt, divide, and isolate people. Should you sit down and let these beliefs thrive and dominate? Or would you imitate Mary Robinson, challenge them from your heart, and rise to do something fundamental about these limiting stances?

We encourage you to listen with the intention of fostering positive, unifying beliefs, to insist that Everybody Matters, regardless of sex, location, accent, education, money, race, or background.

Mary Robinson’s memoir can serve as a guide for creating lasting change. Get it to refer to it as often as possible. You can purchase Mary Robinson’s Memoir, Everybody Matters, on Amazonbookshop.org, and at your local bookstore.
