Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you tired of asking "What should I do with my life?" Are you sick of your job? Don't worry, I know how you feel! I used to start every working week saying "I hate my job" and spend every Friday night drinking too much to drown my misery. I was a cubicle worker in large corporates, going to pointless meetings, writing endless documents no one would read, testing computer systems that would soon be obsolete. Every day, my soul and my creativity died a little. Maybe you feel the same? Well, life is too short to just exist on the edge of breakdown, and there is a better way of living. You need to discover what you love to do and then make that your job, your life's work. This book will take you through understanding the way you feel now as well as how to improve your current situation immediately so you can create enough space to work on breaking out and doing what you truly love. It also contains the career change process I used to go from management consultant to full-time author-entrepreneur. It's time to change your career and your life.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Download or read book The Challenges of Changing Career written by Deborah Siegel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons why people make a career change, and they seem to be doing a lot of it lately. In fact, Jeff Neil of the New York City career counselor said, "Based on my experience, I believe the typical person has six to seven careers, and the number is growing." While six or seven total career changes may seem excessive, keep in mind we have recently been through a severe recession where thousands of companies were downsizing or going out of business altogether. These greater number of career changes could be in direct response to the dictates of a poor job market, but that's not really what we're going to be discussing. If you've been considering a career change because you're tired of the same old-same old, read on my friend. Assuming you've already been tempted to make the change, what we want to help you with is examining all the challenges that may come with that decision. We'll help you to overcome the challenges of your career change so that you are prepared to be highly successful in your new endeavor. Whether this is your first career change, or perhaps you're hoping it will be your last, there's a lot to consider when making the move. Feeling overwhelmed? Put your worries aside and decide to pursue the challenges with an open mind and a positive spirit. Changing your career doesn't have to be a time of panic and chaos. If you prepare a plan for success and set realistic expectations for accomplishing appropriate goals in your new career, the possibilities are endless. Choose to look at a new career with enthusiasm and excitement, and you're already well on your way to making a smooth transition. No need to rush. Relax in the knowledge that you are going to make a change, and together let's discover the best direction to get you to your final destination in a new and rewarding career. When you make a hurried decision, chances are great that the decision won't be as lasting or satisfying as one made with careful thought and studied insight. What you will learn in this process of change may be just as or even more valuable than the new career itself. Plan on some surprises along the way-some good, and others-well, not so much. The key to staying positive and enthusiastic is not dependent on the degree of difficulty in these challenges you are sure to face. No! Rather it is in the way you choose to react to those challenges that will determine the ease in which you make the change. We'll help you welcome the positive surprises and negotiate the negative ones so that, when all's said and done, you'll come out the other side with an "I can do it" attitude. Striving for a "no regrets" career change may be a bit optimistic, but perhaps a "few regrets" one is attainable. Our hope for you is that after allowing yourself to climb over the initial learning curve, and move up the ladder to leadership, you will look back over your journey with a grateful heart for all those who helped you along the way and embrace the future in your new career with a true sense of fulfillment.

Book excerpt: Philosophical wisdom and practical advice for overcoming the problems of middle age How can you reconcile yourself with the lives you will never lead, with possibilities foreclosed, and with nostalgia for lost youth? How can you accept the failings of the past, the sense of futility in the tasks that consume the present, and the prospect of death that blights the future? In this self-help book with a difference, Kieran Setiya confronts the inevitable challenges of adulthood and middle age, showing how philosophy can help you thrive. You will learn why missing out might be a good thing, how options are overrated, and when you should be glad you made a mistake. You will be introduced to philosophical consolations for mortality. And you will learn what it would mean to live in the present, how it could solve your midlife crisis, and why meditation helps. Ranging from Aristotle, Schopenhauer, and John Stuart Mill to Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir, as well as drawing on Setiya’s own experience, Midlife combines imaginative ideas, surprising insights, and practical advice. Writing with wisdom and wit, Setiya makes a wry but passionate case for philosophy as a guide to life.
