Be sure to check out this episode for three of Couros’ takeaways from this reading!

Quotes:

“The way you like to learn is what makes you comfortable, but it isn’t necessarily how you learn best. Sometimes, you even learn better in the mode that makes you the most uncomfortable, because you have to work harder at it. This is the first form of courage: being brave enough to embrace discomfort and throw your learning style out the window.” - Adam Grant

“It’s easy for people to be critics or cheerleaders. It’s harder to get them to be coaches. A critic sees your weaknesses and attacks your worst self. A cheerleader sees your strengths and celebrates your best self. A coach sees your potential and helps you become a better version of yourself.” - Adam Grant

“Character is more than just having principles. It's a learned capacity to live by your principles.” -Adam Grant
