I recently finished reading Fast Forward by Jonathan Yabut, and I enjoyed it. It lived up to its claim to be “the ultimate career guide for millennials on the move.” As a millennial just like the author, I was able to relate to the experiences he has shared on this book. His lessons on his storied career was truly worth writing about, as he has worked for ten years in as a marketing executive in some of the most established companies across various industries.
My favorite part of this book was his tips on how to achieve work-life balance. These were very simple tips. Examples of which were recognizing that work-life balance is a choice, and that we should stop eating lunch on our desks. They may be deceptively straightforward, but they actually teach us that finding fulfilment in the office while still having a life is possible if only we know how to work smarter.
The gospel of working smarter includes knowing how to communicate to your boss, succeeding in job interviews, and learning how to love your job. Jonathan shares his practical insights so that his fellow millennials will be able to have rewarding careers while enriching their lives. I appreciate that his prose is direct and easy to understand. It is accessible to all millennial readers and even those who are no longer within that age group, but still willing to understand people my age better.
I highly recommend this book! Buy it on Shopee via this link and learn how you can fast forward your way to an amazing career!
