“Do the KIND Thing” by Daniel Lubetzky • Book Review
“Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.”
★★★★★ (5 / 5 stars) This was a great book. Daniel has such a captivating story, and he did an amazing job coupling every lesson with a personal experience or real-world analogy.
“This Will Only Hurt a Little” by Busy Philipps • Book Review
“I’ve determined that just about everyone feels left out; it just comes down to how you handle it.”
★★★★ (4 / 5 stars) Right from the start, Busy proclaims for herself that she is an excellent storyteller, and let me tell you, it's the truth. And her no-nonsense candor doesn't end there.
While Busy is hilarious with on-point voices for every "character" and comic relief moments, this book felt like a hulking iceberg of emotion you didn't would sink you when you hit the surface. The only deception she might have given the reader is the title because it did hurt. And it hurt a lot.
“Reset” by Ellen Pao • Book Review
“We’re either silent or a buzzkill.”
★★★★★ (5 / 5 stars) Reset tells the true story of Ellen Pao’s experience as a victim of sexual harassment (of varying degrees) from law school to tech startups to the VC world.
“Driven” by Manny Khoshbin • Book Review
“I never forget where I came from. Living in a car and digging through garbage bins makes you try hard and develop the right attitude, which is, ‘Despite the inevitable setbacks, I will never, ever give up. I don’t ever want to go back to that!’”
★★★★ (4 / 5 stars) Manny's new book Driven captivated my heart and tells a rags-to-riches story every entrepreneur and ambitious individual can relate to. His success truly is massive, but his authenticity is even more so.
