About the book
What does having a career mean, and should we always follow our dreams? In this critical and thought-provoking book, Rie Thomsen and Tristram Hooley challenge the myths and ideals surrounding careers. With wit, wisdom, and a sharp eye on societal expectations, they invite readers to rethink the meaning of careers. This is not a guidebook but a conversation starter—a reflection on life’s twists, turns, and detours. What shapes the choices we make? And how do we find direction in a world of constant change?
In Reflections, scholars deliver engaging reflections on key concepts. These pocket-sized books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.
