Professional read: “Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know” (2021) by Adam M. Grant
Description / Reason: For professional growth, this one is fascinating to me. Think Again explores the art of thinking and intellectual humility. The book includes strategies on how to take advantage of being wrong and encourages us to reevaluate some of our stale convictions with an open mind.
Leisure read: “Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women a Movement Forgot” (2020) by Mikki Kendall
Description / Reason: This is a unique take on a hot topic. The focus on diversity has been siloed, i.e., gender equality, racial equity, LGBTQ rights, etc. Hood Feminism takes a step to address intersectional issues for people who fall into more than one category. Kendall dives deep into poverty, healthcare, and education for groups that have fallen in between the cracks of social movements.
