Brilliant guide to care for yourself for achieving career success

In Career Self Care, Minda Zetlin weaves fascinating stories including her own lived experiences with valuable insights for women ( and men) to make their self care their priority for long term career success.

Doing so enables us to show up fully energized to engage as our best selves in every aspect of our life and our career. This is especially crucial for leaders because when they don’t practice self care, they are in essence signaling to their teams that the same is expected of them.

Like a career coach in a paperback!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is a must-have guide for all ‘walks of work’ and one I wish my younger self could have had. True to its title, this book offers effective, practical self-care strategies to not only empower one to find fulfillment in the workplace but in life as well, with the freedom to fully embrace both without sacrificing one for the other.

Minda Zetlin's years of experience in business writing, teaching and community-building lend authority to this work, and her courage to examine and learn from her own missteps along the way speak to authenticity seasoned with a dash of good humor.

The thought-provoking exercises at the end of each section challenge the reader to draw deeply from their own well, where creative vision, the longing for meaningful connection and, if approached honestly, the fear of failure and the unknown reside.

By the time you've reached the last page, you'll have your own unique roadmap to identifying – and obtaining – what you really want out of your career.

Self Care that Goes Beyond Career

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

“Career Self Care” is a wonderful, personable, and super-helpful read on many counts. It takes on big issues and goals, then finds the small, concrete steps, the “baby steps,” that can be taken each day to get you started, or jump-started. We've all heard about the benefits of sleep... water... balanced nutrition... exercise... Minda tells you how to incorporate these essential practices into your daily routine, and shows how they're not only good for you, but also improve your energy and performance level. I like that she stresses the valley of community, an aspect of ourselves that's outside of “self” but I've found is a crucial aspect of self-care. Read this book and it could save you a month (or more) of workshop fees!

Helpful hints for busy bees!

I got the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. The chance fell into my lap at a time when I didn't know how much I needed it! As a single mother, social worker, musician, booking agent and writer, the message of this book - that you can love your job and your home life and still struggle to find a good work/life balance - really spoke to me. This guide is full of useful gems, from tips to helpful anecdotes to practical exercises. I took something away from every chapter. Highly recommended for busy people!

Work insights you never knew!

Minda Zetlin has taken the fireside chat and added coffee and a laptop. When reading, it feels as if she's sitting with you in an office break room, listening and advising. Anecdotal, warm, while being truly insightful and honest, advice is clear and direct. Added asset, the author has created a book that you can open anywhere, any page, dive in and you'll find tons of valuable recommendations. Employers should buy a copy for every new employee.

Seeking a Career Jump Starter?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 26, 2022

Minda Zetlin’s book provides a refreshing and a highly insightful guide to reevaluating and revitalizing your career. And your life! Her holistic approach deftly melds her professional progressions through the fulfilling but at times challenging world of publishing – from serving as president of the American Society of Journalists and Authors to her role as a popular columnist for Inc.com – with life lessons from her diverse personal experiences and travel adventures.

Her relaxed, conversational tone immediately engages the reader and makes you feel as though you’re taking a workshop next to the author, with an occasional appearance by her husband Bill and influential colleagues.

Zetlin invites you to start with any chapter and make your way through Career Self-Care in the order you choose. The instructional guidebook covers everything from how to journal as a way to explore and reinforce your career success and life objectives to building your confidence to figuring out what you really want to achieve and how to be happy. Each chapter concludes with related exercises you can do to get started. This book gives you a powerful tool to improve and elevate your work and personal life in a self-caring, mindful way.
