Career.

Career isn't destiny.

About this category

In a volatile world, your career is no longer a straight 40-year track. It's a trajectory that can curve, switch direction, and sometimes pause to reorient.

Books in this category don't teach you to write a beautiful CV or interview skills. They teach how to look back at your trajectory — and the courage to turn when needed.
