Welcome to Litsy!

This is a pick, especially if you are at a time of life to make decisions and changes! This book helped me think about life more holistically and intentionally. It is very practical, with exercises to help you design your life. I can definitely see how this approach isn‘t for everyone, but I do think it‘s a good book.

Definitely some quotable moments and inventive ideas. The majority did focus on job seeking and education choosing, which is not presently a concern for me, but I would be likely to go give some chapters more attention should I find myself on that path. Like any similar book some of the networking tips or other financial advice isn‘t the most practical, but I found the journaling exercises more fruitful from others in this genre.

Enjoying this so far. I‘m trying to take my time and do the journal activities and reflect, there is some information and exercises that are not simply recycled from other self-help books.

I see this as fitting beautifully with the spread. We are a divided culture and divided generationally with a need to conform required by old some- and the “kids” saying don‘t tell me who I am- yet still simultaneously we need to feel belonging that is provided by tradition and ceremony. I also see how this is what people “know” and there can be fear of change. I shared my outside the norm books, and one about designing who you are. #tarottakeover

This book has changed my life. If you are seeking change in some area of your life, maybe it will speak to you, too! Burnett and Evans teach a college course at Stanford, and this book reads like a (super engaging) course syllabus, with assignments to do along the way. I worked through it over 8 months, and wow, it has paid off!! ⬇️

What is “work“?
Me: something you are hired to do
Book:
• You may or may not be getting paid for it, but this is the stuff you “do.”
• When using the term “work,” we mean the broadest definition—not just what you do to make money or for “a job.” Work is often the largest single component of most people‘s waking lives, and over a lifetime it occupies more of our attention and energy than anything else we do.

You have a wicked problem.
And that‘s a wonderful and exciting place to start.

Reading before work

This is a pretty good one if you're feeling like you need a change but aren't sure what's next. Lots of homework to do to get the most out of it!
