Other books are aimed at helping us better navigate the same old broken paradigm we've been living in — by leaning in, or leaning out, or being more efficient, setting better boundaries or doing more self-care or biohacking.
News flash: it's not working. It's like taking a painkiller when what you need is an appendectomy.
Directional Living offers a brand new paradigm for success and fulfillment, a comprehensive solution to the underlying problem we're facing and a plan to get you there.
You've never read a career book like this before.

“Extrinsic motivation screams so much louder than intrinsic motivation. Capitalism is so good at rewarding what we can measure, terrible at rewarding what we value. As a result we often work really hard to build careers that we don’t really want. Directional Living will help you avoid that fate!”
When I was on the bathroom floor - literally and metaphorically - having a panic attack, having done everything I was “supposed” to do in my life.
I am the original Underfulfilled Overachiever.
Then, I quit my "dream job" with no plan, determined that there must be another way to do this whole career thing. But when I looked around for another model, I was disappointed to find that there really wasn't one. So I set out to create one for myself, and eventually shared it with hundreds of others as a career coach. Now, I'm sharing everything I've discovered and tested over the past 10 years with you in this book.
I wrote this book to be what I needed and couldn't find.
