Triggers: Sparking Positive Change and Making It Last by Marshall Goldsmith

BATB score: 7/10 ⚡️
Did I do my best to be happy? Did I do my best to find meaning? A book about owning your life as a protagonist for being a better version of yourself everyday.
Best to: read Marshall Goldsmith's "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" 🌟 first and foremost; then if you are still keen, have a take on this book
Best for: guilt-ridden victim of "satisficing" - our tendency to commodify everyday choices because chasing that last bit of improvement is not worth the time or effort - aka settling for / living with "good enough".
"If you think doing folks a [good enough] favor justified doing less than your best, you're not doing anyone any favors, including yourself. [...] Better than nothing is not even close to good enough - and good enough, after we make a promise, is never good enough."
Best as: a very practical self-help life-optimising guide book; at times redundant throughout the chapters
