Finding Your Career Path without Losing Your Mind: Emotional Management for Job Seekers and Career Changers
**First place non-fiction winner- Kindle Book Promos Book Contest 2014 for Outstanding Achievement in Non-Fiction**
Are you Feeling stuck and unfulfilled in your professional life?
I know exactly how you feel.
I'd always dreamt of a profession as a writer and working with people; however I nonetheless ended up working in administrative and marketing positions for many years. Although good jobs I felt stuck and confused.
I turned to career counseling, but that only revealed what I'd always known - that my strengths lay in more interpersonal and creative fields. Unfortunately this career guidance didn't help me at all; it only intensified my frustration and feeling of being stuck. I had no clue as to how to make a change and make my dreams come true.
Today, as a group facilitator and career coach, I observe the very same phenomenon with many of my clients: they have an idea of what they want to do, but something restrains them from moving forward.
That "something" is namely: fear, low self-esteem, anger and guilt.
In other words: conscious and unconscious emotions drive our career choices.
The truth is that knowledge and talent alone aren't enough to succeed!
Self-realization and success go hand-in-hand with a cleansing of negative feelings (such as resentment, anger, guilt and grief), high self-esteem and the determination to realize your aspirations despite obstacles along the way.
In this guide I share insights and tools I have acquired in my own process of career-change - from my position as a marketing and administration employee to managing my own business in writing, group career counseling and career/personal coaching. I also provide case studies of my clients and others who traveled this very same path - the path of transformation from a sense of being emotionally stuck to professional breakthrough.
Whether you are looking for a new job, building a new business or need a better work-life balance, this book is for you.
If you too want to escape from the emotional loop and give yourself a real chance to succeed, I invite you to give this book a try.
It will help you dig up hidden treasures within yourself and emerge as you are meant to be: creative, vibrant, and determined. It will directly impact your career and your quality of life.

FINDING YOUR CAREER PATH WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND by Michal Fisher has a subtitle that tells you what to expect in this read. That is, Emotional Management For Job Seekers And Career Changers. The heart and soul of this guide is to discover the real you, the you of your desires. It is a guide as to how to rid yourself of fears and doubts, clear your mind of distractions, and focus on what is important to you. And by doing so, finding what it is your desire in your work.
By discovering what you want by working through your fears, doubts, passions and aspirations, you can track down what you really want to do and seek the work that is most appealing to the true you.
I found this to be a tricky endeavor. For most people, the looking for a job is one in which we hope to get hired in a field we already excel at. This book would be excellent for the individual who is currently dissatisfied in their career but doesn’t know why. By following the guidance here you can reveal to yourself what actually motivates you and thereby allow yourself to direct you job search in the proper direction.
If you need a job now to pay the rent tomorrow, this is not the most helpful of helpers but if you are seeking long-range satisfaction, this could well be you ticket to success.
I won this book through Goodreads.

I got this in a Good Reads giveaway. I was excited because I am a school counselor and this is right down my what I do. I haven't had time to go through the whole thing in detail but just off the bat it seems like a great book. It's setup to be easily referenced and seems to delve into careers very nicely.
