Read the rest of the review here: http://bit.ly/2qwDELr After the disappointment of Neil Pasricha’s The Happiness Equation, I did not have high hopes for another entry into the self-help genre. Sarah Vermunt, career coach and founder of Careergasm.com, kicked those doubts to the curb. Dispelling doubts is something Vermunt is intimately familiar with. It makes up half of her day job: convincing you that yes, you can and yes, you will and yes, it’s okay to go after the kind of career you actually enjoy and no, that doesn’t mean you’re going to “live in a van down by the river.” Careergasm: Find Your Way to Feel-Good Work takes a conversational tone that doesn’t indulge readers in their excuses. Instead, Vermunt puts a swift (but kind, if you can imagine) kick in your ass to get you moving. She acknowledges your fears, engages with them, confirms them, and then says “but you can deal with it and here’s how.”It’s utterly refreshing to read through a self-help book that claims to offer “bullsh*t-free advice” and then actually does.
