Her approach is both philosophical and practical and will enable the reader to build the right mental and emotional toolset to navigate and thrive within the accelerating change and disruption ... it's a must-read!"

Somi Arian clearly explains the skills that you need to succeed in the 21st century." "Rapidly advancing technologies are disrupting our 21st-century careers and outmoding conventional career planning strategies. This book is a no-nonsense guide to cultivating and applying our uniquely human proficiencies-from ethics to emotional intelligence to contextual understanding-to achieving durable relevance in the face of an increasingly volatile job market." "If, like me, you've consumed so much content on the 'Future of Work' lately that you feel more agitated than up-to-date, read Career Fear. It's that signal in the noise I was searching for!"

I recommend this volume to ambitious early career professionals as well as everyone else seeking to secure their futures." "This book tackles the big issues for those entering the world of work in 2020. It offers practical advice about how to choose the right vocation so that readers can gain satisfaction and a decent income from their job."
