In the book, he explores in greater depth how we can adapt and maintain our employability and satisfaction in today&rsquo;s world. His advice is nicely seasoned with his life story: he went through a time of reflection and anxiety because of an illness that could have been serious, but fortunately wasn&rsquo;t, and that allowed him to reinvent himself and share his experience with us.</p>
