The Squiggly Career: The No.1 Sunday Times Business Bestseller - Ditch the Ladder, Discover Opportunity, Design Your Career

The Squiggly Career addresses how to navigate work in ways that suit individual circumstances. Traditional career ladders and lifetime employment are no longer the norm. Instead, people increasingly move between roles, industries, locations, and careers in non-linear paths—what the book calls squiggly careers. While this fluidity can feel stressful, it also creates opportunities for freedom and purpose. To thrive in this environment, the book guides readers to answer key questions: What are your strengths? What do you value? What motivates you? Where do you want to go? The book provides practical tools for: identifying your core strengths, clarifying your values, addressing confidence obstacles, developing stronger support networks, and mapping future possibilities. It combines insights about how work is changing with examples from successful people, designed to support career growth and satisfaction.
