“You deserve, and can have, success, happiness and meaning in all areas of your life.” This is a book about building confidence and about finding who (and where) you want to be in your life, not just in your career. Should you stay in your current job; should you find another? It's like having a personal coach, helping you define your options and, even better, helping you develop the courage to make life-changing decisions; find joy in your job and don’t let the other aspects of your life suffer. You don’t have to stay stuck; you always have options :). The joy notes at the end of each section are enormously useful too – this book helped me and will definitely help you.
