    4.0 out of 5 stars Read this if you're stuck in a rut or you want to shake up your career
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2020
    Format: Kindle Edition
    When I read about this book, I wanted to read it and see what it was all about. It’s an interesting premise and who doesn’t want to succeed at their chosen profession.

    The book is made up of three things –

    1. People sharing their own experiences and how they ended up where they are

    2. Practical tips for how to look at what you do and what you’re good at.

    3. Exercises to assess your own skills, values and needs from a job.

    I found the stories shared inspiring and all were different. It made me think about what my ideal job is, what Iove doing, my skills and how to combine that. Suffice to say there is lots more to do to get where I want to be, but I think that’s normal.

    The exercises were practical, easy to follow and great to get the brain thinking. I think it’s a good book, I’ll go back and revisit at times.

    To finish, if you’re looking to shake up your career or feel like you’re stuck in a rut, this is definitely worth a read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had this book earlier in my career!
    Reviewed in the United States on 1 May 2020
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    As a type-A Achiever with an insane work ethic and a deep passion for my work, I have been constantly befuddled by my lack of ability to move up or even at times, how I end up boxed into horrible situations. I am terrible at office and corporate politics, but I had no idea how to move ahead or out of my current situation. After reading McDougall's Winning the Game of Work, I feel as though I have taken a peek behind the thick velvet curtains of corporate life and can finally figure out how to advance happily in my career without compromising on who I am inside. I found the advice in this book re: getting to know myself and what makes me happy at work extremely valuable as it's been such a challenge to figure out what I really want to do and if this path I am on is right for me. Fantastic read and I wish I had this book a few years ago so I could have been applying the lessons this whole time!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Consider this book an investment in yourself
    Reviewed in the United States on 12 April 2020
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    In my experience McDougall is right — any career worth leading has to be aligned with who you—and you have to take action.

    You owe it to yourself to buy this book and reflect on it, as an investment in your own journey to career fulfillment. Her approach of showcasing stories from a variety of people provided a lot of color and real life insights to demonstrate her books numerous points.

    She’s not kidding about the need to take action, either! There are a number of exercises in the book and, full disclosure, I didn't complete them all. Having additional space to answer the questions in the book (rather than having to do so in a separate journal) might have motivated me to complete them. Maybe her next book can be a companion workbook?

    There's enough depth that I could see wringing additional benefit out of her material by approaching it again with the goal of completing the exercises and reflecting on changes that have happened since my first reading.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect "Welcome to the New Job" book.
    Reviewed in the United States on 17 April 2020
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    A wise read for those entering the workforce for the first time and a great navigator for those mid-career. I love the handy-style of this book which functions more like a tool-kit. It's easy to pick-up and dive into different sections and personal stories that fit your current situation.

    I'd love to see corporate teams read this together as a team-book-club read. It would certainly create transparency and a forum to share perceptions on corporate culture.

    Anyone who's worked in a corporate environment will resonate with the first two chapters and discussion of success and failures (both our own and what we perceive in others) and the topic of envy. The Myth Busters section is worth the price of the book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A practical guide to unleash your "superpowers" at work!
    Reviewed in the United States on 22 April 2020
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    Author Terry McDougall drives to a core issue that so many face - Am I happy in my career or at my job? But McDougall flips the script with readers by providing pragmatic tactics for readers to take an active part in owning the answer to the question. Rather than letting a bad boss influence them or a missed promotion, McDougall expertly uses her own experiences and stories to show that even the worst miss at work can be an opportunity if we use it as a data point. This book resonated with my own recent exploration of what my "superpower" is at work. I can't wait to try out some of the reflections McDougall's book provides. A must-read for anyone wishing to craft meaning into their work!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book plays life and business like a game — a fun and very welcome way to thrive!
    Reviewed in the United States on 20 April 2020

    Way too many people enter the business world and start careers, doing their best, and maintaining high expectations to inevitably become disappointed and stuck in misery. The trap of “trying better” just isn’t enough. Terry McDougal’s book frees us. This book’s strength is in taking the reins for ourselves. To radically improve the story of our careers, I love that this book shows people are much more resilient and capable than what they give themselves credit for! The author’s voice is authentic and rich with “unwritten rules that no one tells you” to make the way you work a lot more fun and rewarding.
