Finding the right career is the most important investment of our time and effort, next to our relationships with family and friends. It’s essential that all human beings find a meaningful way to contribute to this world in order to achieve a sense of fulfilment and happiness. Choosing the right career is a big part of this equation.
Career success has been typically measured by the amount of money, glamour, power and position one has. This way of thinking is thankfully starting to shift.
Success is personal and means something different to each and every person. Your version of success is dependant upon your values, your experiences, and your stage in life. It is about the individual goals you have at each stage of your life and the elements that allow you to feel happy. Therefore, only you can know and understand what’s important to you. Don't make the mistake of defining what your success looks like by comparing it to what others think it should be.
Hands down, the most important career-planning activity you can engage in is finding out your own core values and your own definition of success. If you don’t do this, how will you know what's best for you? and how will you be able to make a career decision and be happy with it?
This book will not only help students just entering the workforce, but will also help anyone thinking of making a career change or questioning their current work/career choice.
We have cut out all the fluff and condensed the information into a concise and easy-to-read little book. Don't let the length of the book fool you, however. The information provided is extremely thought-provoking and, when applied, can change the direction of your life.

MY REVIEW
Career Guide by
Sokanu is exactly what the title says, a guide to helping you choose the career
that is best suited to your own personality. The earlier in your life that you
learn to look for the principles that will guide you to selecting what you want
from life, the better for you. But you don’t have to be just starting out.
Seasoned career individuals can use this book to help put them on the right
track to a better, more fulfilling, happier future. It is never too late.
I wish I’d had
this book while still in high school. It would have helped me tremendously. The
tips and questions involving finding your core interests were very helpful, and
I got a lot out of the exercise in finding the one explicit thing that
interests you above all others. It was also stressed that you should not define
your success to what others think it should be. I agree that you should
continually assess your career goals and above all, do not get comfortable.
Procrastination makes it easy to stay in a rut and let your career become just
work. I know this from experience. I liked the comparison of a baby overcoming
fear to continually learn, to adults doing the opposite and giving in to their
fear.
