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.

I have been on a positivity kick recently and I am always very goal driven.
This book really helped me to focus on that. The book guides you to figure out how you can love what you are already doing rather than giving up. This was important especially at the moment because we are all stuck working from home with our thoughts.
I loved this!

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!
