Amidst reams of career books, Cliff manages to offer truly fresh insight, again

Cliff amazes me with his unique insight about what is really important in our work. He helps us understand how intertwined our identities and souls are with our work, then how to really determine what satisfies and motivates us to perform. This can't be faked if we are to be truly drawn vs. pushed by our work. Cliff guides readers through defining themselves from within vs. the default of external definition like; what does the market or other people need me to do? Without this degree of focus, we are destined to reactive and diffuse career transitions, or none at all.

A thoughtful look at regaining control

You have a good job and make a nice living, but lately something is missing. The spark has gone out of your work - and your life. You would like to make a change, but you don't know how or where to start. Yet you know that one day you'll be dead inside if you remain too much longer in your current job. Abandoning the rat race and heading off in some novel direction is never easy, but finding a viable way out has become a survival imperative for many of today's professionals. Are you in a rut? Career expert Cliff Hakim's three-step career change and enhancement program can help you transform your life. getAbstract sees his conversational book as an informed, logical map to new career directions and self-fulfillment. Never preachy, Hakim offers sensible, if not especially innovative, advice, urging anyone contemplating a career change to reflect and explore first, and then engage. It's not "fire, ready, aim" but "ready, aim, fire." His warmly supportive book explains how to make a workable transition to a more rewarding professional life.

This book is a gift!

This book is for every person who has ever asked themselves on a Sunday afternoon or evening "Why am I going back to that job tomorrow?" Some find no good answer and this can lead to a growing sense of quiet desperation, a kind of 'Sunday Night Blues' or maybe just a sigh of resignation. But the author of this book sugests that this kind of question can be a helpful jumping off point to get you on the road to a work life that compensates you with more than money.

But, Hakim explains, reflecting is just the start of the process; one then needs to move forward to explore (inward and outward) and engage. If you need this book you'll know it immediately from my first comment. If so, act - move - get it while the spirit is upon you. If someone close to you needs this book, get it for them as it is truly a gift of love.

On any given day, more than 4 million Americans job search online. And regardless of age or profession--from Boomers to Gen Y's--today's financially encumbered and emotionally conflicted workers are looking for more than money as they pursue something new, better, different. Rethinking Work delivers the perfect antidote to the bookshelves full of advice on how to write a killer resume and dress for success, instead offering a proven formula for thriving amid the inevitable change and tumult that is driving the demand for constant innovation, flexibility, and creativity. In other words, author Cliff Hakim says it's time to stop being victims of these career shifts and make our jobs begin to work for us!
