BODY OF WORK

Pamela Slim

Finding the Thread that Ties Your Story Together

A new way of thinking about success and happiness, and how to make the most of a twisty, unconventional career path.

These days it’s increasingly rare to have a stable career in any field. More and more of us are blending big company jobs, startup gigs, freelance work, and volunteer side projects. We take chances to expand our knowledge, capabilities, and experience. But how do we make sense of that kind of career—let alone explain it to others?

Pamela Slim, the acclaimed author of Escape from Cubicle Nation, gives us the tools to have meaningful careers in this new world of work. She shows how to find the connections among diverse accomplishments, sell your story, and continually re-invent and re-launch your brand.

Maybe a traditional resume won’t work anymore, but Slim explains new ways to tie the pieces of your working life together. Whether you’re a recent graduate, a veteran corporate employee, or a layoff victim at a crossroads, Slim’s insights will help you make a living and find greater happiness with your body of work. Pamela Slim is a popular blogger and career coach and the author of Escape from Cubicle Nation (Portfolio, April 2009; Complex Chinese: China Times).

Heartfelt, practical and actionable, this is the rare book that will change your life if you let it.

We are hardwired for story and no one gets that more than Pamela Slim. Body of Work is a powerful and transformative book. Before this book, my journey from waiting tables to vulnerability researcher and teacher never made sense. Now, after reading Body of Work and completing the exercises, I get it. Not only does it help me understand where I've been - it's renewed my passion for where I'm going and why.

Pam Slim shows you how to thrive by building a body of work out of your experiences, knowledge, and accomplishments. A must-read for anyone who wants to achieve fulfillment, joy, and inner peace.

Viewing your career as a body of work will give you more choice, financial security, and creative freedom. The world is not going to serve up neat career tracks anymore. You cannot guarantee that your business or nonprofit will survive in a constantly changing economic landscape. But you can choose the kinds of projects that are worth completing and the type of life that is worth living. It’s not an easy situation, but after reading this book, you’ll have a big advantage.
