I just finished an audiobook that is full of wisdom about effective communicating. I wish I had read this book in my thirties when I was just beginning to think seriously about assembling a toolkit to navigate my career (and the rest of my life) more successfully. (Alas, the book was just published.) Thinking about that made me think about a couple of other game-changing books I could have used thirty years ago. So here just in time for summer reading season (or road trip audiobook season) are three titles you might want to check out.
Quitting the Right Thing at the Right Time
In the past few months, I’ve had several conversations with clients about quitting—quitting jobs, volunteer roles, draining relationships. Quitting is a word with many meanings. Among the definitions in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary are
· To give up employment;
· To cease normal, expected, or necessary action;
· To depart from or leave the company of;
· To admit defeat.
