The always-on, hustle culture creates an unhealthy, counterproductive relationship with work.
Encouraged by business and society, many workers believe that to compete with other top talent, they must embrace a culture that
rewards long hours and constant connection to work. Sometimes that endorsement is explicit, but more often, it’s an implicit contract,
a buildup of organizational and cultural norms, and the adoption of new technologies that increasingly make it easy to tether people
to work.
Malissa Clark shows how to escape the trap of putting work at the center of everything and losing your well-being—or your company’s
performance—in the process. Never Not Working is the essential guide to identifying workaholism in yourself and others and starting on
the road to recovery.

In the new world of work, one thing is clear: the war for talent is over—and talent won.
As the pandemic waned, we returned to sparsely populated offices and empty conference rooms. Our working life had been
transformed seemingly overnight. Now the imperative is clear—adapt to and leverage this new, digitally enabled world of open talent
or get left behind.
How can companies adapt? The key is shifting to what the authors call a networked organization, dispensing with silos, and viewing
talent as a global ecosystem that can be tapped as needed.
With rich stories, keen insights, and lots of practical advice, Winsor and Paik provide a new framework for transforming your
organization into a talent-orchestrating, problem-solving machine.

Nearly all of us have entertained the notion of reinventing ourselves. Feeling burned out, unfulfilled, or just plain unhappy, we long to
make the leap to a new and different career path. But how do we do this successfully?
In this update of the much-loved classic, the bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that runs
counter to conventional advice. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra, but a
crooked journey.
With new examples of people in different stages of a career transition, Ibarra identifies the strategies that successful career changers use.
