Just published in January 2020. Some of my favorite concepts are the difference between looking older versus looking out-of-date and how to mine experiences from outside your official career as useful job skills. I highly recommend, click for my full review<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nDesigning Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I loved this book, but find it difficult to describe.\u00a0 Anyone who has ever felt stuck with a particular problem can benefit from this book\u2026 so pretty much everyone.<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s title \u2018a well-lived, joyful life\u2019 sounded kind of pie-in-the-sky and unattainable to me, but the lessons in this book are actually quite down-to-earth and easy-to-apply.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nThe Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World’s Most Successful People Launched Their Careers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The only business or success book I\u2019ve encountered that reads like a suspense novel.\u00a0 The book was highly relatable and contained some useful nuggets of advice.<\/p>\n

Bottom message is that creative thinking and perseverance are key to all success.\u00a0 Alex Banayan\u2019s story shows how both of these are true in his pursuit of the interviews as well as in what the \u2018successful people\u2019 tell him once he tracks them down.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
