3.0

This week's read for Managerial Psychology. Not life changing or anything but some interesting material. I'd expected Budd to spend more time on speech and language given the book's title. Major takeaways: the brain is "plastic"--changeable... i.e. we're not stuck; we live in language and shape powerful personal narratives; our moods and thought structures have significant ramifications for our health and physiology (already knew that).
