I read this book because I recently became a manager and cared deeply about being a good one. It was geared towards newly minted managers, and it was spot on to how I was feeling in my first 3 months. Written by Julie Zhuo, who was the vice president of product design at Facebook. Highly recommend this book to new managers and also to seasoned ones as an opportunity to look inward and improve.

Picked up this chilling thriller from my cute friend and thought it would be perfect to read during October!

“There is another kind of pain that comes not from losing beautiful things but from never even trying for them.”

THIS!!!! 👆🏻

Couple poignant thought-provoking paragraphs:

“In my thirties, I learned that there is a type of pain in life that I want to feel. It’s the inevitable excruciating necessary pain of losing beautiful things: trust, dreams, health, animals, relationships, people. This kind of pain is the price of love, the cost of living a brave, open-hearted life—and I’ll pay it.”
