In this superb introductory text, Dan Schawbel demystifies personal branding and makes it accessible to the masses (especially to what he defines as 'Generation Y' readers) by outlining a four step approach - discovering, creating, communicating and maintaining our brand - and underscoring the vital importance of networking and constructing a credible online presence.
Throughout the book, Schawbel emphasizes an intelligent use of the Web 2.0 and the social media in order to transmit the essence of who we are and/or aspire to be in our careers and in our lives. His enthusiasm and honesty shine through an accessible, engaging and eminently readable text that should be part of any and every 'Careers' and 'personal growth' curriculum of the digital era. A winner.
