Great Read

This book was a breath of fresh air. Much needed. Great breakout starter for anyone transitioning to another phase of their life or those tired of being stuck.

Very Helpful and Inspiring

I’ve been trying to pivot in my career for 2 years with little success, so this book is very helpful to me right now. Now, a lot of the concepts are found in other self-help books, but sometimes we need to hear them over and over! I particularly found it helpful to know we don’t have to have a big, concrete plan to move forward. I was getting stuck here thinking I had to have everything figured out before I made any changes. It’s also great that he emphasizes that you don’t need to burn bridges or take risky actions. I think I’ll get the e-book as well so I can highlight sections. One little observation more than criticism, is that at the end he kind of takes on the entire ball of wax of self-development in his action plan, but in many ways making big changes does require effort in all areas of your life. The author does a very good job narrating the book as well. I recommend this book if you are looking to make a big change - even if you don’t know WHAT you want to do exactly.

Mediocre motivation at its best

Really nothing about this title inspired me to grow or change in any sort of meaningful way

not realistic, too many metaphors

Not realistic, too many metaphors and not enough real life applications. couldn't get past chapter 2.

The book assumes you are lost in life

What disappointed you about Pivot?

I felt this book was for people so down on their luck that they needed a fresh start.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I stopped listening in the first chapter, it made me feel sad.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for guidance out of a real problem where you have lost hope, this may help.
