Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends,
Although not surprised, I am over the moon to witness the incredible response and coverage of Tuesday’s launch of Jennifer Breheny Wallace’s book “Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic––and What We Can Do About It.”
I am one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity to read “Never Enough” this summer, before it was published. (Read to find out why!) So I can tell you with certainty that this book is not “one more thing” to read. It’s WHAT to read.
Your Thrive Thursday Tip: order your copy now!
Sharing a sampling of the many articles and interviews to read/watch/listen whilst you wait for your book to arrive!
(And for those local, mark your calendars for October 17th, as we are so excited to welcome Jennie back to Wilton, CT.)
