Story
Too many people believe that if they keep their heads down and work hard, they will be lauded as experts on the merits of their work. But that's simply not true anymore. To make a name for yourself, you have to capitalize on your unique perspective and knowledge and inspire others to listen and take action. But becoming a "thought leader" is a mysterious and opaque process. Where do the ideas come from, and how do they get noticed?

It's no secret that we're pushed to the limit. Today's professionals feel rushed, overwhelmed, and perennially behind. How can we break out of the cycle and create the kind of interesting, meaningful lives that we all seek? Just as CEOs who optimize for quarterly profits often fail to make the strategic investments necessary for long-term growth, the same is true in our own personal and professional lives.

What does it take to create the career you want? It's no secret that the world of work has changed, and we're shifting toward an ever more entrepreneurial, self-reliant, work-from-wherever-you-are economy. That can be a liberating force. But there's a major obstacle professionals face when they contemplate taking the leap: how to actually make money doing what they love. You may have incredible talent and novel ideas, but figuring out how to get started, building your reputation in a new realm, and bringing in a steady flow of new clients can be a daunting prospect.

How do you create your own definition of success - and reach your unique potential? Building a fulfilling life and career can be a daunting challenge. It takes courage and hard work. Too often, we charge down a path leading to “success” as defined by those around us - and ultimately, are left feeling dissatisfied. Each of us is unique and brings distinctive skills and qualities to any situation. So why is it that most of us fail to spend sufficient time learning to understand ourselves and creating our own definition of success?

Careers are not linear, predictable ladders any longer; they are fluid trajectories. No matter our age, life stage, bank account balance, or seniority, we are all being asked to navigate career changes much more frequently than in years past. The average employee tenure in America is just four to five years, and even those roles change dramatically within that time. Our economy now demands that we create businesses and careers based on creativity, growth, and impact. In this dynamic world of work, the only move that matters is your next one.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.

Like many business owners, renowned politician and activist Stacey Abrams didn’t start a business because she dreamed of calling herself an entrepreneur. Her part-time post (and its $17,310 annual salary) as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives necessitated striking out on her own as a consultant—her first small business. Then, Stacey and her friend Lara Hodgson launched an infrastructure advisory firm—named Insomnia Consulting because they did their best thinking at 3:00 a.m.—and then another business, and then another.

We're in the middle of an epidemic of stress and anxiety. Average life expectancy in the US is down. At work, less than sixteen percent of us are fully engaged. In many high-stress jobs such as distribution centers, emergency room nursing, and teaching, incidences of PTSD are higher than veterans returning from war zones. We are getting something terribly wrong. Our workplaces fail utterly to provide for or capitalize on one of our most basic human needs: our need for love.

Not my call to action
Dorie shares some tremendous insights, and crystallizes many aspects of success into a simple action plan. Each chapter though left me feeling more and more alienated, thinking 'That's a whole lotta work'. For someone wholeheartedly into the title, it might change their life. For someone who enjoyed hearing Dorie on a podcast and curious about what this is all about, like me, it might seem like a uni textbook or workbook. It holds some interest, I got something from it, but I'm feeling I'm fine without following it completely.

A Must Read!
Would you consider the audio edition of Reinventing You to be better than the print version?
A reader can learn different aspects from either experience. I would recommend both!
What did you like best about this story?
I appreciate the various anecdotes that are told throughout the book to illustrate different career moves and considerations at pivotal points in the career journey. There are many key takeaways that are applicable to many different career paths. I plan to pull out the key points in a list and keep them on hand to remind myself.
Which character – as performed by Karen Saltus – was your favorite?
I did not have a favorite character.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I preferred to listen section by section due to time constraints.
Any additional comments?
This book is a must read for student and practitioner alike! Dorie leaves the reader with critical takeaways that are both refreshing and insightful. I found this book very helpful in redirecting my career search in a meaningful and positive manner. I refer to this book periodically to remind myself of key points, as I negotiate my next move. This book gives you the tools to intelligently navigate your career with critial professional insights for the career of today.

A Methodical Approach to Find a Career You'll Love
Would you consider the audio edition of Reinventing You to be better than the print version?
I enjoy listening to the audio edition. The narrator was very clear and pleasant. I usually refer to the print edition after listening audiobooks, so that I can re-read specific pages or references.
There's a self-assessment questionnaire in the appendix of the print edition that doesn't appear to be available to audiobook customers.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the step-by-step framework that the book provides for finding and preparing yourself for a new career. This includes learning about how you're perceived by colleagues and friends, seeking out informational interviews and mentors, test-driving potential professions, and explaining your career transition to others.This book provides a very well thought out approach for anyone considering a career change, whether or not they know what they want to do next. Many relevant examples and best practices of how others have succeeded in their career transitions are provided in each chapter.
What does Karen Saltus bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
No, but she is definitely one of the stronger narrators that I've heard.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Reinventing You by Dorie Clark. Nothing wrong with the title, but then again I'm not a filmmaker.
Any additional comments?
A lot of very practical advice and a framework to bring it all together. The way that people prepare for and find their next job has changed dramatically over the past few years. This book brought me up-to-date on how I can use this to my advantage.

This book gave me all the answers
It is hard for me to find a book I can stick with. I don’t have a lot of patience when I’m looking for answers. I don’t want to listen to “fluff” that doesn’t pertain to my immediate quest.
This book was everything I was looking for and more. I appreciated the detail of each chapter and how it didn’t “beat around the bush”. It really opened my mind to new opportunities and avenues to explore. I highly recommend EVERYONE to read this book, because it’s not just about your career, it’s about your image as a person. Everybody has an image. This book gives you the tools to help you shape your image to be as good as you work to make it.

Very basic ... Might be good if you're 25?
I was disappointed in the book ... The ideas were obvious, the examples questionable, the narrative grating... Overall I had a really hard time justifying the time to finish it. The author states as one point that due to the Internet there is little cost to publish your intellectual property .... Well just because it's published doesn't mean you should spend your valuable time reading it. This is quite possibly the worst book I've read in years

Best for employees
I'm more of an entrepreneur and this definitely centered around getting ahead corporately or in corporate / organizational settings or for people who have little idea of what their transformation will be (exploratory). I have a pretty clear vision so I was looking for more how to implement not explore. I was going to bail on it but did finish it and there were good nuggets that I could translate into my work as there are some things more general or freelance in content. I did not love the woman's voice, so many times I thought I was listening to the Google maps robot lady. if I was to do it all over I'd recommend actually reading the paper book. definitely a good book with lots of examples and ideas.

Lots of practical ideas & evidence to reinvention
Easy to follow book with actionable ideas and plans and good examples on reinvention. useful and down to earth. Thank you Dorie Clark
What I would add: more powerful profound and moving questions (i.e. psychotherapy type) that help guide / challenge your own ideas of reinvention; it would probably make it more impactful.
not sure if the paper version has space for "answers" but it could easily have "workbook" sections - format. On the audio version, it could encourage to write down answers.
