About the Book

This book is all about developing a holistic career which brings long term satisfaction and enrichment to the individual. The author has adapted the concepts of management being practiced in the corporate world—motivation, creative thinking, strategic thinking etc.—to an individual's concern for career growth and joy at work. However, these concepts and techniques are adapted and simplified in a jargon-free manner and are easily understandable to anyone who is mature and serious about his or her career.

While the concepts, anecdotes, cases etc. form the background of the book, the really important contribution is through exercises, aimed at assessing one's potential and developing one's own strategies, applications, and action points for career growth and joy at work. The book is primarily meant for experienced professionals and executives who wish to revitalize their vision and align their career strategies to their inherent strengths.

Professionals facing the challenges of an unpredictable economy and at transition points of their career are likely to find the book useful and timely. Self-employed professionals and parents of youngsters aspiring for a rewarding career would also find this book useful.
