About the Book
Are you feeling stuck in your current career? Unsure about your values and priorities? This book is your guide to reassessing your professional life and finding true fulfillment. Unlike traditional "how-to" guides for job hunting, this book goes deeper.
With a series of carefully designed questions, you'll uncover the real reasons behind your dissatisfaction at work. Even if you think you should be happy about your work, this book will help you understand why you're not.
Do you dream of quitting your job to follow your passion? Are you afraid of switching careers, or starting your own business, and potentially failing? This book tackles these fears head-on, addressing difficult topics like dealing with uncertainty, pursuing happiness, navigating a mid-life crisis, redefining your relationship with time and money, and the "formula" for improving your odds of success.
Join Daniel on his journey. Throughout the book, he shares his personal story, detailing his struggle with unfulfilling jobs, the valuable lessons he learned, and how he ultimately took the leap to live his best life. Let his experience inspire and guide you to take control of your career and create the life you truly want.

At age 46, he was finally able to switch gears. Now, he’s finally at peace and happy with who he is while living his life the best he can.

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.
Len EppLeanpub Co-founderThis 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 QuesadaData Science Retreat Founder and CEOIn 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.
