Wow!! What a glorious review of the great CD! So well written with fine attention to detail. 👏

I especially appreciated your thoughts about the character trait of "good humor". It's the universal lubricant for human relations that in the personality research field is referred to as "Agreeableness". In my work on talent assessment in organizations, I found that dimension to be as important as skills and abilities in selecting the right person for each job. We need more agreeableness and good humor in the world. Thanks for bringing so much of that in your essays, Ramya!

To return the favor, here is my review of A Christmas Carol:

Thank you so much, Baird! You're always so sweet about leaving an encouraging comment, and it means a lot to me that you enjoyed this review. It's so interesting to see how this trait is also important in the professional sphere, but that definitely makes a lot of sense: organizations depend on people working together, and who wants to work with someone always in a bad humor?

And thank you for sharing your review—will definitely check it out! A Christmas Carol is one of my favorites.
