The Secret Weapon for HR
The best HR advice comes from people who’ve been in the trenches.
That’s what this newsletter delivers.
I Hate it Here is your insider’s guide to surviving and thriving in HR, from someone who’s been there. It’s not about theory or buzzwords — it’s about practical, real-world advice for navigating everything from tricky managers to messy policies.
Every newsletter is written by Hebba Youssef — a Chief People Officer who’s seen it all and is here to share what actually works (and what doesn’t). We’re talking real talk, real strategies, and real support — all with a side of humor to keep you sane.
Because HR shouldn’t feel like a thankless job. And you shouldn’t feel alone in it.
In Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day, Jay Shetty offers readers a guide to cultivating inner peace, clarity, and meaning by drawing on the timeless wisdom he gained during his years as a Vedic monk. Blending ancient philosophy with modern-day practicality, Shetty explores how we can break negative habits, reduce anxiety, and live with greater purpose—even amid the chaos of everyday life.
Released in 2020, Think Like a Monk quickly became a global bestseller and touched the lives of readers seeking not just productivity, but a deeper sense of fulfillment.
