pickA sweet heartbreaking book about a boy who confronts living with / dying of cancer. I teared up in places. Did not expect to like it so much so this was a pleasant surprise.

Reading this with my Granddaughter! It was a recommendation from her. I love that we can share our love of reading!
pickThis book was super inspiring and motivating. I loved the examples and the different stories that the author used to display her point. She did a lot of research and I think this was well thought out and extremely well written. Would highly recommend!
pickRead for my Leadership Foundation 201 class, it started a bit slow—perhaps a bit too much research for my taste, but it really picked up & is a good look at why persistence beats talent & why some people succeed because of just how “gritty” they are. A business book but really a life book with implications for everything from exercise to parenting to writing (there‘s a great passage from author Ta-Nehisi Coates). My group of leaders give it a👍 ⬇️
pickDonated to my school library by a 🇵🇷 mom who wants to see her kids represented 😊. This book tells the story about how AOC became the youngest woman in Congress. If you are worried about politics, this book is not about her politics. The author presented a story that includes #grit and #perseverance. The illustrator captured her eyes. #puertorico #underthedustcover
End matter includes discussing guide, links, & glossary
pickI‘ve often wondered why some people stick with difficult things and others don‘t. From what I‘ve seen, there aren‘t many books on this topic. I thought this book had some interesting findings but I also thought there were leaps of logic or inaccurate generalizations made. But overall, worth the read.
pickA good read about talent vs effort. Definitely gets a little repetitive especially towards the end.
pickInspiring reminder of how we can all accomplish more and how to inspire the next generation for success.
Talent x effort = skill
Skill x effort = achievement
pickI should have stopped & read this book sooner, but I finally did. Angela Duckworth makes such great insights! Cheers to the next generation!
