I didn't enjoy this book as much as others I've read in the genre. Perhaps I've read too many in a short span of time. But also, some of the advice is kind of an open door:
- make lists of the tasks you like and the tasks you'd rather not do. See if you can get someone else to do the tasks you don't like.
- make a list of the skills you need to do the tasks you'd like to do. Develop those skills.

I guess some people are stuck in such a rut that they don't even see the obvious.

Some new concepts for me were SCARF threats -- Those are threats to your Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness -- and the Ladder of Inference, where a situation triggers one of your SCARF threats and you determine someone did that on purpose, dig your heels in and notice a pattern.

Some good advice on how to climb back down that ladder. It's better for the relationships you have at work.

A few days after I read the book I've forgotten what it was about for the most part. So very few concepts I wanted to put to practice immediately.

The author, a nationally renown productivity expert, offers powerful steps for making the job you have your dream job. Rather than quit - especially scary in these uncertain times - she provides an actionable plan for redesigning your work life, thus enhancing your whole life. Includes inspiring cases from the author’s consulting practice. Highly recommended!
