How to Find Fulfilling Work by Roman Krznaric
4.0
A thoughtful, and thought provoking read. It is not a career to-do list, which I appreciated. The overall message was one of satisficing - there's no optimal path so think about what you enjoy, what tends to motivate you, and then try some things out and choose what seems to be reasonable. And try not to get too hung up on money or status.
A couple of particularly good questions:
What is your current work doing to you as a person - to your mind, your character, and your relationships?
Who do you imagine is judging your status? Do you want to grant them that power?
And regarding the whole "having it all" situation, and feeling guilty you don't have it: "Don’t think of it as your dilemma, think of it as society’s dilemma."
