Complex

First time reading this author's work and although it was a pleasurable story, it was more like a light summer read to me. The premise is that Veronica found out that she was adopted through a DNA test kit given to her by her sister for Christmas. She suspected as such since her high school years but never spoke of it until now. Her adopted family thought it would be good to visit the countries that she was related to and her father paid for a trip arranged by her sister to Ireland, France Italy and Denmark. There are elements of fantasy throughout which you had to go with, but it was a very predictable story . I will rate it 3 stars, but I think the author could have made the book more interesting by giving more background on the characters and on Veronica's relationship with Jonathan previous to her trip.

Excellent memoir of adversity and letting go of an attachment to home, moving beyond guilt, and shedding shame. Tara could have easily fell into the life that her parents lived, but instead chose her own path despite how difficult it was to separate herself from her family, and ultimately losing them at the end.

I loved this book.

Excellent Book!

This book messed with my head in the best possible way. Last night I was scared while laying in bed and tonight my jaw on the ground. I haven’t had such a reaction to a book in a while and I LOVED IT! This was the perfect mix of horror and psychological thriller.

In To Sell Is Human, Daniel H. Pink challenges the traditional view of sales as something only used by pushy professionals with quotas to meet. He argues that in today’s world, we’re all in sales, which I truly agree with, whether we realize it or not. Whether you’re a teacher persuading students, a parent guiding a child, or an entrepreneur pitching an idea, you’re constantly trying to move others. He introduces a new framework for effective selling, replacing the old “Always Be Closing” mindset with “Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity.” These qualities help us connect with others, stay resilient through rejection, and make complex ideas easier to understand. He also redefines the idea of pitching, offering creative alternatives like the one-word pitch or the Pixar pitch to match today’s fast-paced, attention-limited world. Ultimately, the book emphasizes that the best kind of selling isn’t about tricking people—it’s about serving them. If what you’re offering genuinely helps, and you present it with empathy and purpose, then selling becomes a human act, not a manipulative one.

I really liked fierceteeth’s perspective but I wish it was longer
