Career Purpose: When Work Isn't Working for You

Career Purpose delves deep into the prevailing societal norms that bind individuals to a narrow definition of success. With keen insight and practical wisdom, this transformative guide exposes the pitfalls of seeking validation solely through external achievements.

Through a blend of personal anecdotes and research-backed strategies, readers are invited to challenge the status quo and embrace a new paradigm of success—one rooted in internal fulfillment and personal growth. The book provides a roadmap for breaking free from the grip of career attachment, empowering readers to cultivate resilience, purpose, and joy in their professional lives.

Some key takeaways from this book include recognizing and reclaiming agency over one's career journey, focusing on aspects within one's control, balancing intrinsic motivation with societal expectations, forging a path that aligns with personal values and aspirations, and crafting a holistic approach to professional fulfillment, irrespective of external validation or employment status.
