Gig economy, Zoom meeting, solopreneur. Did these terms even exist five years ago? Though our work lives have changed, a perennial question persists: How can I be successful in my work and fulfilled in my life? As Minda Zetlin shows, basic self-care principles are the key, and they apply in both tranquil and turbulent times. Her prescriptions are action-ready and applicable to all. They include not just being good at your job but being good at personal branding; taking doable steps to get from where you are to where you dream of being; cultivating both mentors and sponsors (and knowing the difference between the two); navigating the ongoing issues of gender and race bias at work; dealing with toxic coworkers, including bosses; and incorporating detoxifying mindfulness practices ? from brief meditation breaks, yoga, and journaling to coffee rituals or playing a musical instrument.
