You're Not Your Job
You're Not Your Job
Going Above and Beyond for Yourself
About the Book
Do you feel like a square peg in a round hole sometimes?
Do you feel like what you're doing is not really meant for you?
Would you rather be doing something else entirely but don't know where to start?
In our lives, we don't ask ourselves enough questions. We follow the lead of others because they seem to know what they're doing. Along the way, you may lose track of who you really are. You mistake your identity for your job. Deep down, however, you know you were not meant to be living like this. You even have a plan to switch gears. But you never do.
Looking for answers? Try asking questions instead!
Daniel has been through the journey of switching careers. He's not offering you answers, though. His goal is to help you ask yourself LOTS and LOTS of questions to get where you want to be.
This helpful book is what he wishes his past self had at his disposal.
Hopefully it can be useful to you on your own journey!
Reader Testimonials
Len Epp
Leanpub Co-founder
Switching careers is a big decision, and an easy one to put off, especially if it feels like it's too late for you. You're Not Your Job helps you face the tough questions you need to ask yourself about your own professional journey, regardless of what you decide to do next.
José Quesada
Data Science Retreat Founder and CEO
This book is tiny but it's packed with wisdom. It is peppered with questions that you must face sooner rather than later: What is money? What is time? Why do we exchange one for the other? How does their relationship changing as we age? As a motivational book, it shines. It's perfect if you thought you were leaving your jobs but somehow, years later, you are still doing it and feeling miserable. Highly recommended.
José Luis Lopez Pino
SHUTTLE99 and Affi99 Founder
In this new era of employment, newspapers are full of buzzwords like flexibility, remote work, digitalization, and work-life balance. Yet, the significant changes in labor have left us without the tools to manage our relationship with work, which can be toxic or just not fulfilling enough in many cases. As someone who had to follow his own journey to find a job that doesn't look like a job, I find the author's questions particularly meaningful and reflective.
