As I’ve shared before on this blog, I have taken my years of experience as a professional coach and successful entrepreneur and written a book that filled from cover to cover with advice that will help you advance your own career. There are many great books on the market that focus on professional development and reaching career goals, many of which I have posted along the side of this blog. I highly recommend every one of these books and they are all worth a thorough read.
Along the other end of the spectrum, I decided to brainstorm a few titles in the “career” or “self-help” genres that have not made the cut yet. What are your thoughts on some of these fictional publications, destined never to be bestsellers?
