Over the past three decades, Professor Larry Smith has become something
of a "career whisperer" for his students at the University of Waterloo.
His stunning TEDx talk on finding your calling has been viewed by more
than six million people and counting.
This book captures the best of his advice in a one-stop roadmap for your
future. Showcasing his particular mix of tough love and bracing clarity,
Smith itemizes all the excuses and worries that are holding you
back--and deconstructs them brilliantly. After dismantling your hidden
mental obstacles, he provides practical, step-by-step guidance on how to
go about identifying and then pursuing your true passion. There's no
promising it will be easy, but the straight-talking, irrepressible
Professor Smith buoys you with the inspiration necessary to stay the
course.
