“Feeling Stuck Is Something Many of Us Have Experienced”
<p><strong><em>Shana, when looking at business books from the last years, there’s a trend in many books suggesting to their readers that they can and should find their dream job and achieve fulfillment if they only “Start with Why,” for example. There are hundreds of other “strategies” that sound appealing and straightforward, yet I’ve spoken with many people who feel pressured by them.</em></strong></p>

<p>I believe <a href="https://www.getabstract.com/summary/46512?utm_source=journal&utm_medium=integration&utm_campaign=catalog" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Don’t Call It Quits</em></a> partly responds to the “cultural ethos” that inspired some of the titles you mentioned. Specifically, there’s an idea that many of us buy into: If you’re unhappy at your job, you should leave and find a job that brings daily happiness, fulfillment, and meaning. This advice can be suitable for specific individuals at certain career stages. However, my book offers a different perspective because that advice doesn’t apply to a lot of people. Finding a new job that matches your current pay, benefits, or flexibility can be very challenging.</p>
