Do Over: Rescue Monday, Reinvent Your Work, and Never Get Stuck by Jon Acuff
5.0
Okay, this might be the weirdest review I'll ever give, and maybe it's illegitimate. But I didn't finish this one, and not because it's not awesome.
I love every word I read. I've followed Jon's blog, and appreciate a lot of what he says, and this book is more, and it all seems right on.
It's just not for me. This is primarily a career book, and I'm in very nearly what I consider a dream job. Even following that train of thought, I devoured the entire first section, and probably would have read the whole thing anyways if this month wasn't nanowrimo and I didn’t want to have to rush it and still get it back to the library in time. Likely, I’ll come back to it down the line, or just buy a copy to have for when I want it for reference or insight.
All that to say, this is a great book, and this coming from someone who doesn't read self-help or anything non-fiction, generally. If you have an interest in making your working life more palatable, read this.
