How Am I Doing?: 40 Conversations to Have with Yourself by Corey Yeager
4.0
I really appreciated Dr. Yeager's perspective and his career history is inspiring. His reflections on the impact that well-meaning loved ones have when they make comments about a child's future are really powerful -- especially as it translates into adult pressures to conform.
Dr. Yeager offers some great guidance for walking through the decision-making process. He also offers some opportunities to engage in reflective writing to assess one's place in life and the choices available.
The motivational style used by Dr. Yeager would make this a good graduation gift - especially for those involved in team sports.
Though it is overall accessible, I definitely felt like I wasn't the target audience intended for this book. This is much better suited to younger readers, those who participate in/are interested in team sports, and those who haven't read many self-help/therapy-tool reads.
This is definitely a great first read in the realm of finding a better self, but might be a little more motivational-leaning for those of us who have read quite a few similar books.
