Very good book This mindset is vital for those of us who have goals in life. We don’t live in a bubble so it’s imperative for us to not give a s*** of others opinions.
even though its against what you really like to do I’ve learned so much from this book.Its true that sometimes we tend to go with the flow for acceptance to be in a group and will just say yes,even though its against what you really like to do.Perhaps the company of the the group is what we sought for, so as not to get lonely and the sense of belongingness.This book has given some light on how to speak up for yourself, for your self-confidence and to be courageous to have a sense of independence.Great advice, 5 star for it.
