Usually, I'll give you a ton of great books to read if you loved this month's Book of the Month. But this month's Book of the Month Think Again by Adam Grant had SO many quotable bites and nuggets I just HAD to share a few of them.

You see, I made the mistake of listening to this one on audiobook. And the audiobook was great, don't get me wrong. But I feel like I NEED a physical copy just so I can highlight the heck out of it. Because let me tell you. Those little nuggets he drops are SO good and yummy.

Here are just a few that I loved!!
