Happen to Your Career

An Unconventional Approach to Career Change and Meaningful Work

By: Scott Anthony Barlow

Narrated by: Scott Anthony Barlow

There’s only one thing standing in the way of your ideal career: You.

This book is for you if you want to do meaningful work that pays well. If you want to make a big career change without going back to school or taking a step down. If you’ve often wondered if there could be more out there for you. Spoiler alert: There is!

Career coach, podcast host, and CEO Scott Anthony Barlow shows you that it really is possible to find your way to a career that feeds you and fulfills you; one in which you get to use the talents, strengths and skills you already possess to get just as much back out of it as you put in.

Drawing from his years of studying Happy High Achievers—high performers who are fulfilled in their careers—Barlow delivers a series of real-life case studies and insights to help you join their ranks. You’ll learn how a lawyer who’d spent a decade trying to remove himself from law successfully transitioned to content strategy. How an engineer made a career change upwards instead of laterally while moving cities, jobs and industries. And many more.

Along the way, you’ll learn about the Four Major Milestones that all happy high achievers cross, and the Five Obstacles to Change that each needs to overcome. You’ll see that it is possible to have a career you’re enamored with—one that is good for you, your family, your bank account, and even your long-term health. And not only is this possible. It’s critical. Because the world of work is undergoing a transformation. And it’s led by people like you.

Phenomenal book!!

This is one of the best books I've ever read about career transition BY FAR!! It's not only encouraging, it also provides tactical information and steps to secure your dream job. One of my favorite lines from the book is, "...Some people say, 'I would take less money if I had more flexibility.' This seems like a reasonable statement. Let's evaluate it, though. What goes into that seemingly innocent statement? First why do you believe you would have to take less money? Second, when you make that kind of statement, you are assuming there must be a trade off: you can only have this if you let go of that. But being a paid a premium to tolerate a lack of what you really need (flexibility) isn't thriving. It is settling..."

Excellent guide to change careers!

Real, practical advice on how to make life changing sustainable change in your career, and life.

very useful easy listen

I've listened to the podcast but liked the audible a lot. some of the examples I hadn't come across in the podcasts

The Book was humorous and very helpful in my time of need!

This was a great motivating resource and lots of BONUSES were provided for free. I listened to it all in one day, last Sunday and I have been Binge listening to his podcasts too. Feeling very stuck right now and I feel like Scott and his TEAM truly want to help people. It is Scott’s SECRET MISSION to want to help people find a career that makes them happy and purposeful! <3

More meaningful work. Less settling

Recommend for people making a career change. Or for people wanting to design their next phase of life to have more meaning.
