 Published in January 2020, "Life's Work" is aimed at general readers seeking to choose, switch or enjoy their chosen career.Reed argues that all successful careers are underpinned by a degree of ambition, positivity, peer support, self-knowledge and self-discipline.The most successful and contented workers encountered by Reed tend to be gregarious and self-reflective - but also “sustainably selfish” in their choices, which protects against career burn-out by establishing clear targets and personal boundaries.
