I am so happy and thankful that I, via Netgalley, got the opportunity to read and review the book Fall Down, Gritty up by Dr. Kasey Lynn, a book that I probably would not have come across otherwise since I believe it to be a hidden gem.
This is a broad self-help guide suitable for anyone, anywhere. It helps not only high-achieving career-focused people to climb the corporate ladder but also everyday people struggling in difficult times.
During my reading I often asked myself, why is this book so relevant for me? My life situation is very different from Dr. Kasey Lynn. The answer would probably be because it is written for the common people, it doesn’t matter who you are, you will recognize yourself in the situations that Dr. Kasey Lynn writes and conceptualize about. This is something that sheds hope in today’s world where people are grouped based on prejudices and the distance between people are getting more far away from each other. It tells us that we are all human beings and for many people we share similar problems and goes through similar experiences.
The chapters of the books are structured in a very logical way. The text is well written and easy to understand. My personal favorites include the chapter about focus, and the chapter about playing the quiet role when new to an organization (they will not see you coming).
The questions after each chapter where not the ordinary summary but could really help you reflect over each chapter and put the concept in relation to your life situation. Don´t rush through this book, take your time after each chapter and reflect about the things you have read and see how you can use the concepts/ideas in your own life.
