Book

In 2013, I published a book, Help Me Find a Career: Strategies to Choose Work You Will Love. In 2018, I updated the book and retitled it, Choosing Your Career: Proven Strategies for a Satisfying Life. In 2024, I moved the book’s content to this site, so you can read all the content for free.

For the book, I interviewed 15 career experts, and I asked them to tell me their best advice about how to choose your life’s work. They have decades of consulting, coaching, and counseling experience, and they suggested insights and action-oriented strategies you can use right away.

Here are some things reviewers said about the book:
