Book Reviews of How to Self-Destruct: Making the Least of What's Left of Your Career
Book Review: A fantastic career guide for the 'masochistic' business professional!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was walking through the airport after what I had thought to be a rather dreary work assignment. I didn't feel challenged, and worse, I didn't feel as though I was giving things my all. I didn't feel the motivation that had driven me through my entire undergraduate program, and I was surprised at my sudden lack of drive. So when I stumbled across the title "How to Self-Destruct" I couldn't help immediately judging the book by its cover and picking it up. Needless to say, I'm very grateful I did!
Just as I thought, I was well on my way to career oblivion, as evidenced by the plethora of examples the author Jason gives for people in a similar situation. This work tends to address business professionals in every typical career stage including entry-level, mid-level, and executive management. His ability to mix his humorous prose with very real, very moving career advice is by no means an easy task; yet he seems to have succeeded brilliantly. One week later, I've read the entire book and am planning to put the author's winning advice into practice on my upcoming project. I can't help but feel as though things will go much better this time, given my new insight into what it takes to be a masochistic success-story!
