Sample Book Insights:
#1 The problem was that all the alternatives – changing career, starting over again – seemed impossible. I couldn’t trade in the security of my comfortable life for uncertainty.
#2 I was on honeymoon, sitting on a beach in Sicily, when I had an epiphany. I realized that I wasn’t going to be happy sitting behind a desk for the rest of my life making rich people richer. I had worked hard to get this qualification, but was now left thinking, Is this it. Is this all I get from life.
#3 I am a very conventional person, yet I still consider myself to be deeply unconventional. I have to accept the tension. I'm more conventional than I might otherwise be because I've got young kids and I'm the single breadwinner.
#4 The modern world is full of people who are dissatisfied with their careers. The death of the job for life has led to a world of short-term contracts and nomadic career wanderings. We are constantly being forced to make decisions against our wishes.
