While on the one hand this book reads like many of your standard business, self-help, follow-your-passions books, it brings something slightly more to the table. I read books like this and enjoy them, but my career trajectory is in its baby phases and I'm quite is satisfied with it. Accordingly, books about Reinventing Monday or Finding The Work You Love never quite apply to me. This book targets that audience but also offers practical, useful advice I found good for right now, not for some vagu...
Jon Acuff clearly thinks he's funny. Luckily I agreed with him or this book would have been rough going. Basically the idea is that you have 4 things that you can use to build a career: people you know, stuff you can do (skills), your character, and grit/hustle to make the other 3 useful. Not really any great revelations, but the way he leads you through thinking about what you have working for and against you was good.
Probably the tightest book Jon has written so far. It's a must-read or anybody looking to improve their career, whether they want a do-over or not. Sometimes we have do-overs that aren't our choice, and that is addressed. Essentially to grow your career you need to invest in four key areas: relationships, skills, character, and hustle. Jon walks you through all of these.
I could have used the wisdom and insight in Jon Acuff's engaging book at several points in my work life. I've had a number of "do over" experiences. I listened to the audio version of this book and enjoyed the entire book cover to cover. Everyone needs a career savings account--whether they are content with their current position or looking to make a change in their job. The information in this book is easy to digest and valuable for every listener. I highly recommend this book.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I found the author's tone to be too flippant. At one point, I had the audio book on in the kitchen, my husband overheard a few minutes and said "Wow, that guy sounds like a huge jerk." Well... yeah, he sorta does.
Felt like the author circles around each point they make too often and too long. Book could have been an article at most.
way too simple and basic. this is another one of those self help books with simple advice, being paraded as phenomenal. write down your goals, ask questions to people who know more than you, be nice and generous to people, socialize and network. I have read too many self help books. perfect for beginners.
Wasnt really worth my time. Couldnt even finish reading it!
This is one of this handsome author’s career advisory books. The other 3 are: “Start”, “Quitter”, and “Finish”. You got the picture? 😆The book is very easy to read and sometimes is also very funny. As I am now semi-retired, I first thought this would not be useful to me at all. But I was surprised that I really enjoyed reading it and almost (just almost!) wanted to think about a do over myself!🤣 There are so many good career management advices that I had to note down, as they are going to be so
For what this book is, it's good, maybe a 3.5/5 or 4/5.But self-help and career books are not what I enjoy reading. I'm stubbornly suspicious of why there is a massive market of these books among Christians who read Patrick Lencioni, John Maxwell, etc...In this book, Jon Acuff offers readers plenty of practical tips and guidance in how they can make career transitions. Any drastic change like switching careers will be difficult and filled with anxiety, but Acuff strikes a calming and reassuring
This wasn’t my first Jon Acuff book and I’ve had the pleasure of being “that host” to invite him to speak to a group in my town. I was surprised when he left Dave Ramsey but so excited to see him back on the scene doing what he does well - writing. His approach to hustle was also energizing! I’ve always considered myself a hustler - in the positive sense of the word. However, this was a reminder that I have to KEEP my hustle on to break through those perceived and real ceilings in the areas of m...
There are some good points in here that applied to people who weren't looking for a career do over. In the event that I decide to do over my career I think I would rather look through a physical copy of the book as opposed to listening to the audiobook.
