This document summarizes Raja T M's experience participating in a group book reading and discussion program. It describes their initial anxiety about the novelty of the program. They were interested after hearing teammates say it would be life-changing. The book was easy to consume and the facilitators provided useful insights during discussions. Raja found the problems discussed in the book to be very relatable. By the end of the sessions, there were many practical takeaways. Key lessons included pausing before speaking to avoid being in "the box," busting myths about always being outside the box, and considering whether the other person may be right.
