Grit (HBR Emotional Intelligence Series) Reviews

3.0
“Most of the time my reaction was just “no shit,” but sometimes we do need reminders of those obvious truths. This book does a pretty good job of that, packing all the essentials into one short read. The final section gave me some hope that the medical field isn’t entirely corrupted! Still, It feels lacking for a book published by Harvard.”
“Good high level”
