She Said by Jodi Kantor & Meghan Twohey — it’s about the Harvey Weinstein case. The authors came to JPM to speak for an event & gave us free copies. It is really well written. It follows their journey uncovering all the crazy shit Weinstein did and how they convinced high profile celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow to speak up about the harassment.

Dopesick by Beth Macy, Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe & The Hard Sell by Evan Hughes. This is the order I read them in also and I feel like it was a really good flow of information. They are all by different authors, but it’s almost like they build on each other.

Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?

Did anyone read this yet ? I'm not sure how much I liked the paragraph long sentences but it has some very distinctive Kafkaesque tones. The book has already seen widely different reviews from different political camps. Ex-McKinsey & Company consultants are really becoming mainstream authors now.

The whole book is just an exercise in wholesomeness. The book reads like a script and no wonder it's getting adapted on the big screen with Tom Hanks playing the titular character.
