I never post "school books" on my GoodReads, but I actually enjoyed this one and think it deserves a place on my 2023 shelf! I'm really fascinated by the transition from childhood to adulthood, especially in terms of career discernment. This book is definitely dry (it's a textbook, so that's to be expected), but I appreciated its commitment to understanding how people experience and cope with change.
