In society today, many people find themselves unfulfilled and sometimes sleepwalking through their professional lives. However, new book 'Careers Unleashed', by Asad Husain offers a compelling solution. To thrive in today’s dynamic professional landscape, Husain contends that individuals must cultivate a blend of self-awareness, a winning mindset, critical career strategies and career-building power skills. This multi-faceted approach empowers individuals not only to overcome today’s pressing business challenges but also to remain relevant in the ever-evolving world of work. Asad breaks down his book into easy-to-digest sections that guides the reader in creating an authentic roadmap to a successful and fulfilling career. He posits the idea that no matter what career you choose, anyone has the capability to maximise their career potential by taking ownership of their career. Asad importantly explains that careers impact every aspect of our lives, so by taking ownership, there will be visible change in both professional and personal environments. 'Careers Unleashed' is a must read for anyone feeling unfulfilled in their job, whether that is a recent graduate who has little career direction, or people who are returning to the working world after a period of retirement or anyone else in between. Asad provides advice on how to understand goals, passions and guiding values. It was written for those who feel that they want to make a difference in this world through their work and careers.
