    Each story is followed by an in-depth lesson that explains how to adapt these laws to your own career goals, and what actions and precautions to take. The lessons answer all your tactical concerns about navigating the roadblocks, getting traction and managing your fears. The final section provides workbook exercises for fine-tuning your reinvention strategies for maximum results.

    Mitchell (founder, Reinvention Inst.) lays out the ten "laws" of career reinvention, from creating a vision and forming a network of resources to speaking the language of your new career. Each law is accompanied by a profile story to illustrate the purpose of the law and demonstrate how it can be put to work. This book is made all the more useful by the inclusion of a companion workbook, which can be used either along with the book (exercises refer to certain sections of the laws) or separately after reading. A link to an e-version of the workbook will prevent library circulation problems. This self-guided tool lets readers immediately put the laws into action with their own career reinventions. A fine complement to other job search resources.—EN
