Morgan DeBaun is the founder/CEO of Blavity and the author of "Rewrite Your Rules: The Journey to Success in Less Time with More Freedom." In this book, DeBaun helps her readers to "design a fulfilling life and career without succumbing to the relentless hustle culture and the success metrics of others." In this book, DeBaun asserts that you must know your purpose in order to be successful. Your reason for working, living, and everything else will always be more profitable if you know your purpose. This, according to DeBaun, is then called the purpose principle. That principle is the whole foundation for what you do, upon which is built the following six pillars: money, freedom, stability, relationships, passions, and wellness. DeBaun then goes on to define each pillar.

I found this book to be very helpful, particularly the diagrams. I thought this was a fairly easy read and would be good for any woman who is looking to make more of her life. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Good thoughts on how to redefine success in life, especially for an overwhelmed younger audience of readers.

If you're burning out in pursuit of success, DeBaun offers insights and strategies to take control of your emotional, vocational, and personal well-being.

I found this one a bit young for me: I'm secure in my calling and career, have a stable marriage with a we-love-to-work partner, and our kids are grown up. So we have nowhere to climb and nothing to prove.

That said, this would have been useful earlier. So ... if you're in the throes of career adjustments, entrepreneurship, or advancement in your working life, you'll find some sound advice here. Recommended for those who are thriving at work and dying inside, for those who want to be more intentional in life and career, and for those who would benefit from cautions as you start climbing the ladder at work.
