Welcome to Litsy!

I finished this one a few days ago. I enjoyed the scaffolding techniques to unlock our hidden potential (and that of others), but I think I‘ll need to read the actual book to really absorb the info. There were chapters meant for parents, or those who work with/mentor young children, so if that‘s not you, it might not resonate. There were also topics for organizations/teams, which doesn‘t currently resonate with me. But overall a great listen.

First ever book club overnight retreat. This porch was made for reading on beautiful fall days.

Quite interesting, as Adam Grant always is, but a few days later, I'm remembering the case studies but not much in the way of the content...

Adam Grant writes an inspirational book about character and provides some great motivational zingers. Lots of great anecdotes and the first half is excellent. The second half lost a little steam for me- there‘s a lot of athletic stories, and the education aspects were weaker than other chapters. Even still, it‘s an inspiring, quick book to lift spirits.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall I found it interesting, but none of it seemed like new information to me - more like stories & studies to back up things I already knew. Grant reads the audiobook, which feels like a long-form podcast, and there are quite a few differences between the audio & the hard copy-I‘d recommend the audio. If leadership studies or growing potential is an interest of yours, I would definitely recommend this.I‘m just not his prime audience.

1. It depends. I don‘t believe that merely thinking about something will make it appear, particularly when talking about tangible things (e.g., money, property). But I do believe in the power of positive thinking & that setting intentions will lead to positive outcomes.

2. The tagged, which comes out today. I enjoyed his book Think Again.

This book definitely puts you in the mindset to charge at life and to go after your dreams. It helped me collect my thoughts and gain a better action plan.

Mindset is so important for success. Don‘t be a cow, be a rhinoceros!

I really enjoyed this book. It gave my different mindset to approach my goals that would lead me to be more successful in my endeavors of choice.
