Happy almost Thanksgiving! As you head into the holiday season, and begin to search for the perfect gift for the hard-to-buy people on your list, why not consider buying a great book to help your loved ones reinvent their careers outside the 9-5 box? Considering how many hours people spend at work, this is one gift sure to keep giving long after the glow of the holidays have dimmed.
Here are my recommendations of new and notable reads (click here for a list of additional recommendations):
Making a Living Without a Job, revised edition: Winning Ways for Creating Work That You Love
: This book has been out for a while, but a revised edition of it was just released this year. One of my all-time favorites!
Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur
Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love
: A good pick for the 17-30 year olds on your holiday list. I have to confess that I have not read this book in it's entirety, but the reviews on Amazon are amazing, and having read Lore's earlier book, The Pathfinder: How to Choose or Change Your Career for a Lifetime of Satisfaction and Success
I am willing to bet this book is a winner.
Don't Retire, Rewire!: 5 Steps to Fulfilling Work That Fuels Your Passion, Suits Your Personality, and Fills Your Pocket : This is a very insightful guide for people approaching "retirement" age and wondering how to transition their skills from a corporate career to a "second" phase. A quick read, but offers useful exercises and resources for the over 50 crowd.Did I forget any of your favorites? Please share your recommendations in the comments.
