Book Review: Building the Business of You

February 18, 2021 — by Steve King

Building the Business of You aims to help people "navigate the uncertain, post-pandemic world of work, while aligning personal purpose and professional advancement."

This is a career where workers merge their skills, interests, passions, and experiences in a way that fits a person's whole self.
