rethinking how you think about work.

I like this book because they talk about having a growth or fixed mindset and because they tell you about how things will change. I feel like it’s easy to get comfortable and never think about how the world is gonna change, so reading this book was good for me because it helped open my mind about the possibilities of the future.
