Snap, Crackle, and Stop: Change Your Career and Shap Your Own Destiny

Quinn's snappy (and, dare we say, crackling?) little guide to doing a 180 on your job path brims with optimism and reassurance, coaching unhappy workers to""master your own destiny."" Part of Perseus' Momentum Series, the book attempts to help readers understand what career stage they're in--are they snapping, crackling, or ready to stop?--and offer corresponding advice. Most people snap when they realize it's""time to take a turn in the path of life""; while crackling is being""relatively happy, not desperately miserable to make a change""; and stopping is, well, just that:""being frozen, suspended in never-never land."" With an emphasis on finding a fulfilling job, Quinn shares stories of folks in various modes. The book seems pointed toward people who have a hard time assessing themselves and their careers, as much of the guidance focuses on staying motivated, taking things step by step and resolving to make a change. It should help anyone stuck in a snap, crackle or stop phase discover what makes them, er, pop.
