Recommendation

Lawler Kang is here to help if you're feeling unhappy or unfulfilled in your career. His "Five Ps" self-examination process arises from his philosophy that, since "you don't get nine lives" like the fabled feline, you must live each moment to the fullest. Life is too short to stay in a boring job. You've probably heard these ideas before, but Kang's exercises and checklists may help you to act on them. His style is sincere, but overeager and jargon-ridden, and the peculiar, hard-to-read typeface exacerbates his confusing tendency to trip on his own clichés. getAbstract suggests that people who are feeling inextricably stuck in unsatisfying careers will find it worthwhile to transcend these drawbacks. Kang may be able to start you on a journey to fulfillment and happiness.

Take-Aways

  • "Scratchers" focus on short-term financial needs rather than on their desires and goals. Don’t just scratch for a living; you can do better.
  • Finding work-life "balance" is impossible – because work is not separate from life.
  • People seek to control their lives, but "x-factors" such as illness, disasters and even benign coincidences are not controllable.
