The Career Workbook - by The School of Life (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A thoughtful workbook with exercises to help you find a meaningful career.

Following the series of bestselling guided journals - The Couples Workbook and The Calm Workbook - The Career Workbook is here to help you build a personalized and realistic list of your strengths and goals in order to help you find a career that can satisfy both.

The book will help you...

- Establish a firm, clear and realistic sense of your talents, passions, ambitions and weaknesses.

- Understand how your upbringing and past has influenced your career decisions.

- Identify and overcome psychological obstacles standing in the way of your goals.

- Decide exactly how and when to make a career change.

This workbook applies a uniquely philosophical perspective to the world of work. It dares us to ask truly big questions: about why humans need work; the kinds of work that truly motivate us; and how the right job can give our lives purpose and meaning.

Review Quotes

"Far more thoughtful and wide-ranging than most straight-up career offerings....This book would be a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to better articulate their dissatisfaction and make changes -- or as a gift for a restless friend." - Financial Times

"This book is like a friend that stays with us to face our insecurity, that in reality, is probably not as scary as we thought." - NetGalley Review
