"If you work through this book I can guarantee that by the end of it two things will have happened - you will be in a much better position to plan and execute your future career, and you will feel a lot better than you do now." - Anita Houghton, the author

This user-friendly guide will help health professionals take control of their careers. The book addresses the topics of getting started, laying the groundwork for career development, and getting practical through critical assessment with the following questions. Why do we work? What is important to you in life? What is important about you? What are your assets? What lies between you and your ideal career?

 

The questions posed by the author are designed to help the reader make decisions about job and career, understand current problems or dilemmas, gain knowledge about strength, generate career options, learn about career development in order to help someone else, make a plan to improve work and life balance, and increase self-awareness.

 

By involving the reader in a personal journey of positive reflection the book focuses on abilities, enjoyment and personal satisfaction in the workplace, then based on this new-found knowledge, offers advice on practical ways forward.

 

Know Yourself is unique in using two types of therapeutic approaches to self-development; understanding the relationship between job satisfaction and personality type based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and understanding how both external indicators and internal thought patterns contribute to career problems, using the principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

 

Every healthcare professional who may be dissatisfied with some aspects of their work or work/life balance and will find this book inspirational and potentially life changing. It will also be of use to career advisors and counselors.
