You Need a Manifesto: How to Craft Your Convictions and Put Them to Work by Charlotte Burgess-Auburn, Stanford d.school

lighthearted fast-paced

2.25

I agree that it is important to determine our values and goals, to have direction and know what we believe and what we want to do. However, this book is heavy on the individualism and moral relativism. ~you have all the answers inside of you, you'll know what's right because it will feel right to you~ 

Also, kinda feel like the point of a manifesto is not to rewrite it every day?
