Week 7: Book Critique
Write a reflection on a book from the lists above. If you chose a skill-building book, discuss specific skills, and describe your attempts to apply them in real life and your results. If you chose a novel, play, or dialogue, describe how it adds to one or more of our concepts from class, such as leadership, teams, persuasion, or ethics. As with the film in Week 4, do not summarize the book. Reflect on it. Question it. Challenge it. Is the book making a point? Do you agree with it? Treat the book as an argument that requires a rebuttal.
