Are you tired of asking "What should I do with my life?”
Are you sick of your job?

Don't worry, I know how you feel! I used to start every working week saying "I hate my job" and spend every Friday night drinking too much to drown my misery.

I was a cubicle worker in large corporates, going to pointless meetings, writing endless documents no one would read, testing computer systems that would soon be obsolete. Every day, my soul and my creativity died a little.
Maybe you feel the same?

Well, life is too short to just exist on the edge of breakdown, and there is a better way of living. You need to discover what you love to do and then make that your job, your life's work.

This book will take you through understanding the way you feel now as well as how to improve your current situation immediately so you can create enough space to work on breaking out and doing what you truly love. It also contains the career change process I used to go from management consultant to full-time author-entrepreneur.
It's time to change your career and your life.

In this book, you will find:
** Part 1: I hate my job
1) Identifying the problem
2) The results of an unhappy workplace- stress, depression and weight gain

5) Being valued and appreciated

Thoughtful and supportive

I did start this when I bought it but my job sucked so bad I didn't have the energy to get through it. I am in another job and quite frankly I'd like to be doing something else or at least develop a side hustle. This book is helping me work it out. I have downloaded the free workbook that goes with the book and I already feel that I am making progress.

I have often come across Joanna Penn articles online and having found them to hit home and appeal to my sense of where I want to be, the next step was this book. Full of great ideas and fresh inspiration. Recommended to anyone with ambitions to be happier in their career and move to a better place.

Amazing Advice

Jo Penn's Career Change is packed with pertinent advice to anyone who wants to change directions in their life. The workbook is an indispensable companion to the full experience. Knowing Joanna's journey and all that she has achieved and created along the journey adds much needed credibility to what she has to say. An always recommended author!!

Glad I bought this on my kindle and didn't waste money on a print version. The author is continually telling you what she has done and how successful she was and how glad she is that she made the transition. It is not motivational, just smug and self-congratulatory and offers little practical advice.

This book shared about Joanna's career journey which I find it very informative and straight to the point. This is my first book by Joanna. Looking forward to reading more of her books.

Loved this book. Very organised and made total sense. It's not "do what you love and you will rich" more "do what you love and here are some really practical ways to get started" . Thank you Joanna I felt you were talking just to me 🌹
