““What matters is the message others are getting, not what you think you are conveying.”
Like most career-oriented self-help books, Reinventing You has some helpful and motivating ideas, and some outdated and uninspiring ones. The most “evergreen” and helpful sections were those on how to collect information on how others perceive you both inside and outside of your field, the importance of authenticity, and the (unfortunately very brief) section on rebranding away from a negative reputation (e.g., as someone who is flakey to someone who is reliable). Other large sections of the book on social media and innovation are, at this point more than a decade since publication, not applicable to current readers.”
“I don't think I am the target audience for this book. I don't have the same goals of reinvention this book seems geared towards and found the examples un-relateable.”
“thought I was gonna like this one but didn’t love it. wasn’t super relevant to where i’m at in my career (so that’s on me!)”
