Though labelled a rom-com for all the right reasons, at a closer look, this movie has several lessons to offer that can help one in their professional and personal development. Both the main characters, Iris and Amanda, offer us a glimpse of how one can break away from old patterns and discover new opportunities the moment one decides to step out of their comfort zone and take risks.
The juxtaposition of these two characters is undoubtedly one of the compelling and engaging aspects of the movie. But there’s a lot more that contributes to their transformative journeys. Here are a few of the key learnings that might interest and inspire you, the way they did me.
1. When feeling stuck in your career, a change of environment helps –In the movie, Amanda, a highly successful yet overworked and stressed individual decides to leave the hustle-bustle of city life and moves to a country house for the holiday season to live a slow-paced life.
The calm and serene environment of the countryside allows her to reevaluate her priorities and once again find inspiration and creativity to grow in her professional as well as personal life. Similarly, Iris moves to Los Angeles to connect with new people, there she meets Arthur who mentors her and pushes her to be the ‘leading lady’ of her own life.
