I’m thrilled to share that my next book, Getting Grit is getting exceptional reviews from people I admire, and who are using words like “compelling,” “amazing,” and “exceptional”! It took a lot of grit to get this book from my head into the publishing world, but I’m delighted that the final result is even better than I could have hoped, so I’d like to share some of what I’ve heard in the hopes that you’ll pre-order a few copies for yourself and others who might benefit – particularly during graduation season!
