Your Career Is An Extreme Sport by Eileen P. Gunn says in order to succeed in your career you need a new attitude--and new equipment. Forget the old rules of career advancement. The company man has left the building-and he took his gold watch with him. Today's employees are free agents on the fast track. Your Career Is an Extreme Sport shows how to apply the principles of extreme sports-such as drive, stamina, flexibility, and guts-to achieve extreme career success. Filled with advice from careerists who have reached professional nirvana, this contrarian guide shows readers how to get beyond the ho-hum career comfort zone to reach their professional peak. Essential career gear for employees looking to make the leap, Your Career is An Extreme Sport is an adrenaline-charged antidote to methodical, touchy-feely career books. After all, today's workplace demands a bungee cord...not a parachute. Eileen P. Gunn has written for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Worth, Business 2.0, Self, and Glamour. When she is not writing, she escapes from civilization as far as possible--including climbing a volcano in Bali.
