"I am reading 'Ego is the Enemy' by Ryan Holiday. It is a book about ambition, resilience, and success. I feel that everyone should read it; it comes highly recommended."

The interviewers do not expect you to only read books associated with the pharmaceutical industry. They want to hear that you find time to read for pleasure and know how to relieve the stressors associated with your path to becoming a pharmacist.
