🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛About me
========================
Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

[LukeBarousse]

Loved your reasons for reading, Tina! 1) learn how to set goals and 2) learn how to achieve those goals 🙌🏼

Just finished 'Never split the difference'; I enjoyed how it explained the psychology of negotiating.
(Sidenote: How Chris explained using odd numbers in offers during negotiations to have more success in hitting that number was super interesting!)

1:39 The book You Are A Badass helped me realize that there’s nothing wrong with me for not having that ONE real passion that I just wanted to do for the rest of my life.

The reality is that very few people have this. The rest of us are better off finding something that doesn’t make us miserable and offers us a wage to afford the lifestyle we want.

I'm always looking for books to read. I'm well past my 30s, but I'm aggressively interested in books I can pass down to my two children, nieces and nephews. I know it's not going to be a great gift for them at the time, but I'm putting together a "box" of books they need to read while they are young and am planning to give it to them upon graduating high school. Thank you so much for the book recommendations.

Approaching my mid twenties in a few months and this is a perfect video for me!

Thank you for the book recommendations Tina!

I am 37 and did not rage click out haha. I often feel so far behind in life. Had been wanting to be an Analyst of some sort for several years and only through taking a Data Analytics Bootcamp last year have a finally got my foot in the door as a Business Analyst at a company.

However I am only making 50k. Most of my coworkers are 10-15 years younger than me. But I am finally doing something I wanted to do. Spent most of my adult working career in administrative roles and ashamed of talking about my jobs to others.

I am literally planting the tree 10+ years late but am at least on the right path. Just hope to increase my salary and move up the career later sooner rather than later.

These are great suggestions! Two other books that have helped me are David Allen's Getting Things Done (for productivity) and Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (for a wholesome lifestyle).

2. Man's search for meaning, Viktor Frankl

One sentence summary: Finding meaning through suffering.

3. The untethered soul, Michael A. Singer

One sentence summary: Understanding meditation and spirituality in layman terms.

4. Meditations, Marcus aurelius.

One sentence summary: Stoicism and ancient philosophy which can be applied today.

5. When breath becomes air, Paul Kalanithi

One sentence summary: A neurosurgeon expericing death himself.

6. Deep Work, Cal Newport.

One sentence summary: Concentration is the new gold, a good way to get ahead in your career.

7. Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport.

8. Both 12 rules for life by Jordan B. Peterson.

One sentence summary: Self-help books from a world-renowned psychologist.

I loved the first book recommendation. People/companies etc generally continue talking about passion, but if there is no skill to back it up, it is a house of cards, you may be passionate towards something you truly know nothing about if you don't develop skills and depth in that. And then when you do start learning about it you may become disillusioned with it.
Also, may I ask, that animated snorlax!! Where can I buy this??? So cute!

[pianoista]

I love how your channel is centred around a few related topics and you execute them well! Great inspiration for me! Thank as always, Tina!

[lewessays]

Passion might be over rated, but it is still in some ways relevant.
A simple example might be - Career Changes. Though there might be several reasons why people make career transitions; one of them is some people are stuck in careers they have no interest in, one reason being pressure from parents and society and the prestige of some careers(Med, law etc.).
On another note though your 20's is important but, this idea of hustle in your 20's and if you are confused about your career etc.. then you're doomed... Is troublesome in my opinion.
Great video, Thank you 😊

Awesome!!! My students will absolutely appreciate your content. Thanks so much, Tina.

[AndreTheBarbadian]

I'm definitely living in the slow lane. However during this pandemic I have conclude my biggest fair is not being able to cover my current obligations. So I guess the first step for anyone in the slow lane: Work on over coming your fear.

[Rachel-uqbn]

Hi Tina, I’m 24 and just started my first job as a Data Analyst and I really needed this. I want to read all these :)

[_iovei]

Ty for the vid!! Your cat is so cute too, I agreed with so much you said so I guess I'll learn about what I was clueless about. That is also how I chose my major/future job in your first book so its cool to see what else you learned and agreed with.

[sadiqdaniel]

I just feel so connected to you and your content

Amazing job!

[Ibraheem_ElAnsari]

Tina you will definitely get me into reading more books 🌻! Nice collection 📚
