One thing you learned (Note: This should be a concept or an idea, not a statement of fact.)


I learned that if someone wants to make change, they need to understand the world does not operate like a machine, like we often say. I learned that the YouTube channel Paul cannot be described by each individual part. The most interesting thing about this concept to me was that relationships are integral to success. This is something I have always thought, but never really put a name to. It was extremely interesting to hear someone else describe it in a way that can be used productively and in a work environment. 


One thing you connected to your own experience. This could be a connection to your

internship, to another activity, or even to something you’ve observed in the news.


The section at the beginning of chapter 2, revolving around the rising with homicides in Boston was shockingly similar to what is happening today. It was hard to listen to the section of the book, I have the audiobook, because it parallel so closely with the way a lot of marginalized groups still have to live. 


One question you have


I want to learn more ways to use the idea of relationships in the workplace in a productive manner. The book did a great job of describing it, but I would like more tips to continue understanding this concept.
