Summary:
"What do you want to be when you grow up? It's a familiar question we're all asked as kids. While seemingly harmless, the question has unintended consequences. It can make you feel like you need to choose one job, one passion, one thing to be about. Guess what? You don't. Having a lot of different interests, projects and curiosities doesn't make you a 'jack-of-all-trades, master of none.' Your endless curiosity doesn't mean you are broken or flaky. What you are is a multipotentialite: someone with many interests and creative pursuits. And that is actually your biggest strength. Channel your diverse passions and skills to work for you. Based on her popular TED talk, 'Why some of us don't have one true calling', Emilie Wapnick flips the script on conventional career advice. Instead of suggesting that you specialize, Wapnick provides a practical framework for building a sustainable life around all of your passions. Multipotentiality is your biggest strength, especially in today's uncertain job market. Not fitting neatly into a box can be a beautiful thing. How to design a life, at any age and stage of your career that allows you to be fully you, and find the kind of work you'll love"--Provided by publisher.
