The book points out about the issue how much pressure people, especially young adults today, suffer from. It actually feels good to know that this is a universal issue, not specific to individuals.

I like two suggestions from the book on how to manage this pressure: one is to act the way you speak - if you say that family is more important than work, do so in key decision making; two is to give people the sense of mattering, because this is what is important to take the pressure of performing perfectly. ]]> ReadStatus9314679718 Tue, 15 Apr 2025 23:20:44 -0700 <![CDATA[Mengyi wants to read 'Waiting on the Moon: Artists, Poets, Drifters, Grifters, and Goddesses']]> /review/show/7492624482 Waiting on the Moon by Peter Wolf Mengyi wants to read Waiting on the Moon: Artists, Poets, Drifters, Grifters, and Goddesses by Peter Wolf
