Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Nobody taught you how to choose.At seventeen they ask you to pick a field. At twenty-four, to pick between working, studying, starting something of your own, or leaving the country. And at neither moment did anyone explain to you what that job actually is.This book began in the halls of a few high schools in Villahermosa, in the south of Mexico. The author arrived to talk about careers and the job market, and by the second day he understood that those students were not short of drive: they were stuck in the act of choosing itself. And worse, they believed it was their own fault.His proposal fits in one idea. In everything we do there are three stages: wanting, being able and becoming. Confusing them is the cause of almost all our exhaustion. Wanting is yours. Being able is yours. Becoming is not.In these pages you will learn- How to tell a real fork from one somebody built for you.- How to trade "which is better?" for the question that does have an answer.- How to build a basket of goals instead of betting everything on one.- How to find the thread: the few capabilities that hold several futures open at once.- What to do on the day a result arrives that you did not want.This book does not promise you success, because nobody can. It gives you something more useful: a ten-step method, six pencil-and-paper workshops, a Further Reading list, and a single sheet you fill in as you read that ends up holding the most important decision of your life right now.Written for high school seniors who have to choose a field, and for university students and recent graduates standing at a different crossroads: work, graduate school, a business of their own, or emigration.Wanting is up to me. Being able is up to me. Becoming is not up to me.
