Description

Like the best advice from a therapist, career counselor, and savvy best friend, this practical resource details dozens of concrete ways to improve work life in every kind of job or entrepreneurial setting

Gig economy, Zoom meeting, solopreneur. Did these terms even exist five years ago? Though our work lives have changed, a perennial question persists: How can I be successful in my work and fulfilled in my life? As Minda Zetlin shows, basic self-care principles are the key, and they apply in both tranquil and turbulent times. Her prescriptions are action-ready and applicable to all. They include not just being good at your job but being good at personal branding; taking doable steps to get from where you are to where you dream of being; cultivating both mentors and sponsors (and knowing the difference between the two); navigating the ongoing issues of gender and race bias at work; dealing with toxic coworkers, including bosses; and incorporating detoxifying mindfulness practices — from brief meditation breaks, yoga, and journaling to coffee rituals or playing a musical instrument. Zetlin created Career Self-Care not as yet another list of things to do but as an invaluable resource to call on in moments of doubt or indecision, at the end of a long day, or at the start of any day when you need reminding of your whole-self abilities and aspirations.
