"Boldly You" by Janet T. Phan is a refreshing journey of self-discovery set against the backdrop of corporate intrigue.

The narrative skillfully balances personal growth with workplace dynamics, offering insights into ambition and authenticity. While some plot developments felt predictable, Phan's empowering message about embracing individuality and overcoming adversity shines through, making this a compelling read for anyone navigating professional challenges.

Being a child of immigrant parents myself, I could relate to the author's story and struggles. Being caught between 2 cultures, being part of both and neither at the same time. This was a very interesting read. I loved how the author interwove her story with some wisdom.

I don't know about others but this year I have been actively looking for such books - motivational, comforting and relatable. And I got what I needed from this book.

In eleven short chapters, the author has compiled some helpful and meaningful parts which will aid you during your most difficult times; when you need some reassurance to move on and when you definitely need some encouragement and some comforting words.

You will get to know more about the author and her life, get to know about her younger days, how she has dealt with different people and relationships, what makes her stronger and "discover what we are capable of".

Definitely a great memoir to read.
