Do you want to change the trajectory of your career? You need to create and embrace opportunity and show up differently, day by day.

Here are my top three books to build a career you love.

Linchpin by Seth Godin

Instead of just following instructions and work like a replaceable drone, ditch the rule book! With this book, Seth Godin helps you become an indispensable linchpin.

We can’t succeed without being remarkable and you have to make an active choice to leave fear behind and change the way you show up at work.

So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport

Cal Newport writes about one key question: What makes people love their work?

He outlines why passion is overrated and what to focus on instead to do work you love. Become a craftsperson to develop your skills and build career capital. Make deliberate practice part of your routine. By becoming great at what we do, we can grow to love our work.

The Squiggly Career by Helen Upper and Sarah Ellis

The modern career often doesn’t follow a straight path anymore. To navigate change and transition between roles, the authors offer a (squiggly) path forward. Build a network by helping others, consider side projects and take control of your career. They help you identify and leverage your unique strengths, give and receive better feedback and boost your confidence.
