JAMES SELVARAJ This is a compelling read that will inspire you to be more courageous at work and in your every day life. It challenges us to think differently about courage, specifically demonstrating that courage is not a trait reserved for select "heroes", but rather a skill that all of us can build through deliberate practice. Choosing Courage is grounded in research but written in a way that is accessible to all audiences. I couldn't put it down and highly recommend to anyone who wants to become more competent in exhibiting courage at work.
