Chasing a career because of money instead of fulfillment might leave you miserable

The desire to have a fulfilling job that reflects your purpose, values, passions, and personality is a modern invention. For years, most westerners were focused on meeting their needs rather than enjoying their careers. However, today, the emergence of material prosperity has made many people expect much more from their work. People are now choosing purpose or meaning over money. Most workers are no longer satisfied with having a good job that offers huge salaries and job security. Most of them began their careers focused on finding a job that gave them a sense of purpose and fulfillment, beyond the financial benefits. However, finding a fulfilling career can be challenging; hence, most people are stuck in their uninspiring jobs due to a lack of opportunity and self-confidence. Some people have tried to get a fulfilling career, and after several trials and errors, they eventually got a job they love. Others are still trying to search, while some don’t even know where to begin. Most people are either plagued with job dissatisfaction or uncertainty about how to choose the right job.
Be careful of your career choice because it greatly determines your happiness.
CNN reported a cross-European study conducted in 2010, which showed that 60% of workers would choose a different career path if allowed to start again. In America, job satisfaction has been at 45% for many years.

This summary seeks to equip workers who are passionate about jobs that go beyond paying the bills. It provides a guide for helping people interested in taking their working life in new directions and desirous of bringing their careers and personalities into closer alignment.
We need to treat life as an experiment and discover the little bit of madness that lies within us all. ~ Roman Krznaric
second key point

The path of fulfillment begins with a discovery

Finding a career is not the problem; sometimes, finding “the job” is. There are millions of roles scattered around that can be chosen, but which one promises happiness and fulfillment? Humans have been known to switch careers from time to time. Often, this switch is based on pay and monetary gains. To almost everyone, having a job is the ultimate help in paying bills and living a good life, but is that all there is to it?

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
