This was a pacey and interesting book giving great insights into developing your career, keeping going and being flexible. A few things really struck me - one the idea of having a flexible vision for your life that encompasses a sense of purpose, personal growth, balance and emotional satisfaction. Cultivating this agility approach can lead to whole new ventures. He encourages people to attend workshops in different field to see what happens, making career sidesteps and being alert to possible mentors in different situations. Plenty more takeaways in this book. Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy.
