Don't Shoot Yourself in the Foot

Summary: This book opened my eyes
Review: I was at a point where it was like I was swiming upstream at work. Too many things were just so much more difficult than they needed to be.

I picked this book up because the title jumped out at me. This is the best work environment self-assessment book I have ever seen. It's the only one I've found that helps to identify why some jobs, or work environments are just not a good fit and never will be a good fit. The job or the environment just doesn't fit your strengths and your personality.

I've had my copy for over 15 years. And today, I'm on this site because I will be recommending this book to my adult nephew, who is recovering from losing a job that was a complete mismatch to his strengths and personality.

If your work life is just plain hard and you can't figure out why, this book may just be your lifesaver.
