Lately I’ve been overwhelmed with the workload at my office. Personally, I found it to be an easy, relatable and insightful read.īroken down across seven chapters - Health, Motivation, Decision Making, Teams, Communication, Culture, and Leadership - that dictate the new rules for work, these were my favourite takeaways: 1) Health: Stop feeling bad about feeling bad. It’s written incredibly well with charming images and anecdotes as well as real-world examples that help you understand how the issues the authors discuss might play a role in your day-to-day workplace situations. I urge those who might be grappling with difficulties at the office or in their careers to borrow or purchase a copy and read it all the way through.

While it might be beneficial to give my readers a full recap of the book, I won’t do that. Instead, it sat untouched for almost six months. Written by Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy, No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work, is something I wish I had read when I initially came into contact with the uncorrected proof that I own. Yet, unlike the first few months of the year, in April, I shifted from fiction over to a book about business culture. In fact, it’s probably been the easiest of my multiple resolutions to abide by. I can say with pride that, since January, I’ve been very diligent about sticking to this particular decision. But, nowadays, I’m finding that this past love has been put on the back burner.

Over the summer, you would find me at the library getting my hands on as many novels as they’d allow me to have at one time. When I was a child, I devoured books like candy. Since the beginning of 2019, one of my resolutions for the year has been to read at least one new book every month. My uncorrected proof of No Hard Feelings.
