Book Recommendation
After sharing Adam Grant’s article on developing confident humility, we’d be foolish not to recommend our favorite Adam Grant book. If you haven’t read “Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know,” it needs to move to the top of your “to be read” list.
Final Thought
The biggest hurdle to personal growth is not having a clear picture of your current reality.
If we are blissfully unaware of our need to change, we won’t change.
You need at least one person who can objectively look at you and tell you exactly how it is.
If you do not already have this person in your life, you are wasting an opportunity to experience explosive growth.
Find that person, and get to work on yourself.
