Indispensable

The online pdf can be found on The Happy PharmD

This book is a guide for pharmacists looking to make a change in their careers. The author really hits home on a lot of struggles that pharmacists face with a broken healthcare system, burnout, and feeling stuck. While I personally didn’t find it that motivating, I really like how he addressed pharmacists’ self-limiting beliefs and our worries on how others view our reputation. It’s a refreshing read to learn about a PharmD pursuing a nontraditional path.

Indispensability, I realized, goes way beyond the walls of the pharmacy. More than anything else, it is about creating value for others.

James Clear provides many examples and steps to build good habits (or break bad ones).


Never Split the Difference

Chris Voss provides high-stakes examples from his career as a hostage negotiator to explain how to handle everyday conflicts with people. Reading this definitely made me interested in trying some of his lessons in the future for salary negotiations or dealing with customers/patients in the pharmacy.
