Gabby Tjiroze
Books to read and movies to watch right after university, opening up school books or doing assignment may be over, but that doesn't mean you should put away your reading glasses away, especially when you have no idea on what to do next. These books and movies may just be the perfect kick for you;

'The Power of Habit'

"At its core, 'The Power of Habit' contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives."

Option B

"Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives. Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces."

'Oh, the Places You'll Go

"Dr. Seuss's wonderfully wise 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' is the perfect send-off for grads — from nursery school, high school, college, and beyond! From soaring to high heights and seeing great sights to being left in a Lurch on a prickle-ly perch, Dr. Seuss addresses life's ups and downs with his trademark humorous verse and illustrations, while encouraging readers to find the success that lies within."

The Quarter Life Breakthrough

At age 27, Adam Poswolsky was broke and unemployed. But after a lot of soul searching and hard work, he transformed his quarter-life crisis into success.

The book includes sections on how to channel your "FOMO," or fear of missing out, into action and how to determine whether graduate school is worth it.



What You're Really Meant to Do

Written by Harvard Business School's Robert Steven Kaplan, this book encourages young people to stop striving to become somebody they're not and instead embrace their own natural talents.

"Each of us has unique skills and qualities that we bring to any situation," he writes. "Why, then, do we often try to mimic others and shoehorn ourselves into a cookie-cutter definition of success?"
