Such a great read!:) 1 month ago
By Sheryl Sandberg.
I was really excited about reading this because I liked her Ted Talk and a lot of the things I had read in news articles about her. Unfortunately, most of the book I had already read elsewhere, in interviews and articles I was hoping for more fresh content.
Still! Great on Sandberg for writing this book. 1 month ago
“but this university, at least, is way more hurried than anything I ever saw in industry. It’s worse than the most frantic Internet start-ups I’ve heard of.”
It’s my experience that this is typical of most academic environments. There’s is not much funding and lots of competition. On top of that we are asked to be on committees and teach and supervise students.
It’s unfortunate that the public thinks our lives are “leisurely”. I am not sure tax payers really comprehend what an incredible bang for their buck they are getting.
