Good book that got a bit wordy in parts. Nothing bad just slowed the pace down a bit. nothing that made me want to stop reading but just enough it got a bit slow.

This quickly became one of my favorite self-help books. Payal Kadalkia, the founder of ClassPass, grew up in a mixed race household. In her life, she felt torn between competing narratives: white or Indian, cheerleader or classical Indian dancer, and tech entrepreneur or dancer. Ultimately, she found that labels stopped her from being her full self when she confined herself to just one.

I enjoy podcasts like 'How I Built This' by NPR that tell the stories of how entreprenuers got their start. I enjoyed learning about Payal's upbringing and her journey to founding ClassPass.

This book is not a memoir. I appreciated the structure of the book. She tells us about her life and what she learned from it. After that, she lists questions for the reader to consider related to that topic. The questions were thought-provoking. They were also attached with tangible guideposts and advice.

This book would be great for high school and college students to read and discuss. It would also be great for your next book club.

Chronicle Prism, the publisher feels the need to very largely stamp every single page of their book with copyright information and it's very large and it obscures the page and interrupts the reading.. I learned that I will not request books from them anymore and I can't give a honest good review because I cannot stand the stamps. This is the third book I've gotten from them where there are huge black copyright stamps in the middle of every page sometimes actually breaking up a sentence or paragraph.. I find this is a huge disservice to the author that worked so hard to write these books. All of us on here know that these books are advanced readers copies and we're reading them as a favor to the author as well as them doing us a favor by letting us pre-read the book. We already know it's copyrighted material so ruining a page of a really good book is just such a disservice to the author. This is my third did not finish because I cannot stand the big stamps in every page. The rating is nothing to do with the book and everything to do with the publisher.

I am a huge ClassPass fan, and I was so excited to read this book. I love that it provides tangible tips for what you need to do to reach your potential. I personally feel like I'm in a bit of a rut in my professional life, and trying to find out what I want to do, how to prioritize all my thoughts, setting aside time and energy to reach your dreams - whatever they may be.

This is a great self-help / professional development book and I thin it's going to be a hit in stores. Thanks for the early look!
