Do Over inspires readers to take control of careers

If you're sick of constantly fighting the Monday blues, this book is for you. New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff spent 16 years gathering information for Do Over. He encourages readers to critically evaluate their career paths and challenges them to prepare for whatever the future may hold.

According to Acuff, most of us were taught to work at a job instead of building a career. That's where Acuff suggests investing in a "career savings account". It typically includes four elements: relationships, skills, character and hustle. In order to keep the account sustainable, you must strengthen and build new relationships, master new skills, maintain your integrity and work harder than those around you. Following these steps will ensure a soft place to land should you find yourself in an unexpected career do over.

Whether it is voluntary or involuntary, everyone will experience a "career jump", a "career bump", a "career ceiling" or a "career opportunity". Whether you feel stuck in your job, or you're ready to start over in an entirely new field, the "career savings account" is the toolbox needed to help you through the transition.
