The Book Club Choice for July: Suzy Welch's 'Becoming You' Offers Guidance on Life's Big Question
"What am I supposed to do with my life?" Although the question appears straightforward, arriving at a solution can be challenging.
In her latest book, "Becoming You," author Suzy Welch addresses this enduring dilemma. Her primary aim is to assist individuals in tackling this challenging query, much like she does in her course at NYU's Stern School of Business.
CNBC Make It's audience, predominantly composed of ambitious young professionals, seeks advice on enhancing their careers and personal satisfaction. In response to our readers' interests, we selected "Becoming You" as our featured book for July.
Welch describes the book as a pathway to self-understanding and professional growth. She will be joining us later this month to engage with readers and answer their questions.
According to Welch, the book lays out a process that involves examining your core values and beliefs, identifying your unique skills, and discovering the types of work that resonate with you emotionally and intellectually. When these elements merge, your life's purpose emerges—this encapsulates the essence of 'Becoming You'.
Welch, an alumna of both Harvard University and Harvard Business School, has devoted over 15 years to refining the "Becoming You" approach.
Having observed many people wrestle with the age-old question of life's purpose, Welch reflects on the nature of the journey to self-discovery. It's a challenging, messy, yet rewarding process filled with highs and lows, but ultimately life-affirming.
The endeavor is worthwhile, as Welch points out, because the clarity and fulfillment of aligning with one's true purpose can be transformative.
We invite you to dive into the book and join us on July 30th for a discussion with Welch. The event will commence at 10 a.m. ET as part of the CNBC Make It Book Club.
