I am in complete agreement with you on this. After making a huge change mid-career, I've found myself more fulfilled yet for less take-home pay. While that is very frustrating, as my levels of education and experience have not changed, it has made a significant difference in my happiness. Sometimes I feel like that person on the mountaintop, just giving a big hug to the world!Yasmine M wrote: ↑18 Jul 2022, 05:24 I am glad I found this book before retiring; however I wish I had found it sooner, when I was younger.
Indeed the lessons in this book should be taught to youngsters at the beginning of their careers. They should navigate employment and pick their careers carefully, keeping in mind that the actual system (pension, 401k) might not fully support them financially later on.

I'm excited you found succor from this book.F N Chamomile wrote: ↑12 Jul 2022, 18:27 I'm glad this book helps you with your current issues. In my case, it's more about pressure, especially from my parents. There is always this haunting thought that I have to meet their expectations and achieve something greater than my siblings. I think this book can help people figure out what actually matters to them, rather than focusing on external standard.
I have a distant friend who has the same challenge with you. I will recommend this book to him.

Above are questions from the book that are relatable regardless of age or phase of career you are currently at. I agree with the book that they are complex questions. But I appreciate that they give a sense of direction.What would you love to do?
What are you really good at?
Can you make enough money doing it?
How much money is enough?
How do you transition into your new career?
How long will it take?

Pressure from family and friends can make one go crazy and at the end of the day lose focus on what is important .The book is like a lesson on how to begin the journey and make it

I share your feeling, although I am in my 30's I also wish I had come across this book years ago, it would have helped me make smart decisions in all my previous jobs. So this is quite a useful item to navigate employment from a more effective standpoint. Many of the author's approaches have helped me to have a more effective and projected vision to generate positive impacts going forward.Yasmine M wrote: ↑18 Jul 2022, 05:24 I am glad I found this book before retiring; however I wish I had found it sooner, when I was younger.
