Mistakes I Made at Work

I wish I was mentoring someone younger at work. I would absolutely recommend this book to her.

I didn't technically finish this. I don't usually rate books I don't finish, but I did not get much out of this book, although this probably had to do with it not being suited to the audiobook format. The sections were poorly delineated, so it wasn't clear whose perspective you were hearing. I wish the author had written it all from her perspective and kept the tone more cohesive and consistent. The narrator was inappropriately chipper at times. (It was like a kindergarten teacher telling her students about how badass she is. It didn't work.) There weren't many clear or strong messages, and most of the stories were not about specific mistakes or failures per se, but more generally about the difficulties they faced and how they overcame them, which isn't quite the same thing (or maybe it is and my expectations were wrong). It didn't help that I fell asleep or just entirely stopped paying attention during some points. I may have gotten more out of it at a different time in my life and/or career, but I didn't enjoy it at this stage.
