Directional Living

‘The big decisions in life don’t come with a map. Think of this book as a
compass to help you navigate toward success without sacrificing happiness’
Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again

A GUIDE FOR CREATING A LIFE OF MAXIMUM FULFILLMENT AND PURPOSE, BY THE CAREER COACH WHOSE APPROACH HAS HELPED THOUSANDS REORIENT THEIR CAREERS AND LIVES

So many of us have done everything ‘right’ for our careers; picked a ‘career destination’, got the grades, made the 5-year plan, checked all the boxes, worked hard and climbed the ladder, and now? You''re miserable. Every career milestone has made you feel emptier, and you''ve finally arrived at your ‘destination’ to find that you''re stuck, unhappy and burned out. You’re an ‘Underfulfilled Overachiever’.

In the last decade, career coach Megan Hellerer has worked with hundreds of UOs, from CEOs and bestselling authors to award-winning scientists and activists, helping them get unstuck and discover meaningful, purpose-driven work. Directional Living comes from Megan’s innovative paradigm, one based on the premise that a fulfilling, purpose-filled career and life is built by following your inner sense of direction, not pursuing a fixed destination.

Both a philosophy and a practical guide, Directional Living is a revolutionary new blueprint that will help you find the work you are uniquely well-suited to do in the world, move from misery to meaning and transform your career on the way to transforming your life.

‘We often work really hard to build careers that we don’t really want. Directional Living will help you avoid that fate’
Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor
