48 Days to the Work You Love

I borrowed “48 Days” from a friend when I was just starting to pull together my own business. It discusses discovering the places where your passions and your skills meet, and then reaching for positions that utilize both in order to do work that you find meaningful and satisfying. Basically, if you're doing work you love, you're guaranteed to succeed at it — a sentiment that I really appreciated. I'd say this is a very helpful book if you're looking to switch fields or positions, as it talks a lot about transferrable skills, setting goals for yourself and interview and resume techniques that improve your chances of getting the positions that you are excited about.
