That $40 used book on military strategy changed how I deal with office drama
I picked up a beat up copy of The 33 Strategies of War at a thrift shop near Tulsa for 40 bucks last month. Honestly thought it would just sit on my shelf but I read it during lunch breaks and found this bit about picking your battles that hit hard. I've been stuck in this endless email chain with a coworker in accounting and the book made me realize I was just feeding the fire instead of stepping back. Has anyone else had a random cheap book totally flip how they handle work stuff?

I get what you're saying, but life-changing books don't have to be random - sometimes the important ones are the ones you least expect to hit you. Did you pick up any specific tactics from the book that you use now?

Used to roll my eyes at people who said a book changed their life, but this one actually made me rethink how I handle dumb work drama too.
