In this book, Mark Manson argues against the typical self-help advice of constant positivity, instead suggesting that life's struggles give it meaning. He emphasizes the need to focus on what truly matters and to accept and confront painful truths. The book is divided into nine chapters and uses blunt honesty and profanity to illustrate its ideas, encouraging readers to find meaning through values they can control and to replace uncontrollable values with more meaningful ones.
Shift
Hugh Howey
Shift is the second book in the Silo series by Hugh Howey. It enriches the story of Juliette by telling the backstory of Donald Keene, the architect of the silos, and reveals the truth about the men who created World Order Operation Fifty (WOOL). The book consists of three novellas: First Shift, Second Shift, and Third Shift, each providing a different perspective on the catastrophic events that led to the creation of the silos. It connects Juliette to Donald and sets up the premise for the next novel in the series, Dust. The story spans a significant amount of time, exploring themes of philosophy, human nature, and the consequences of technological advancements[1][3][4].

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
Your parents are first cousins, and it's a secret not many know -- including your significant other with whom you're building a life. Are you obligated to share this?
Creeps offering to rub your realtor girlfriend's feet for $500 isn't the side hustle she was hoping for; how do you ensure she's safe when meeting clients in empty houses?
You love your job, but you don't love the corporate culture and lengthy commute. When is the right time or the wrong time to trade one company for another?
How do you go about asking for the raise you know you deserve (especially as more tasks are being assigned your way) without jeopardizing your current position?
You've been using our free Six-Minute Networking course, but have a few questions about some of the details. We're here to help!
Is Better Help cheaper than in-office therapists, and is it covered by traditional work health options? How do you evaluate it from a budget priority standpoint?
You're trying to prove your value during your company's review period, but one of your overseers seems closed-minded to your process. What's your best move forward?
Even though you don't consider yourself possessive, you have intense bouts of retroactive jealousy regarding your partner's not-that-sordid past. How do you move past it?
Pro Tip of the Week: Instead of saying 'my ex,' say 'a guy/girl I dated.' 'My ex' insinuates that person is still a part of your life.
