Embracing the New Year has always been a challenge for many who seek new paths and new career options. Start this year off right, and join Books Inc. Alameda and local author Merideth Mehlberg for a celebration of the release of her first book, Your Finest Work: Career Fulfillment In A Complicated World!
There are a lot of things you can do with your career - it's what you want to do that matters.
Your finest work is achieved when you experience your own definitions of fulfillment, impact, and success. Rather than a destination, it's an ongoing journey and state of being.
This book guides you in your desired direction, whether you're growing in your role or changing jobs or careers. Merideth's seven strategies help you build the finest version of your career. You will achieve almost immediate gains once you start incorporating the practices and tactics, with rewards increasing over time.
This is the moment to wake up to the power you have over your life, to make your career what you want it to be, and to make the impact you want in the world. You can draw inspiration from real-life stories of those who have traveled the path to career fulfillment with Merideth by their side.

"Like most meaningful things in life, there is no guidebook on how to create and prosper in a fulfilling career. Your Finest Work helps you make your own guidebook to find your own North Star and implement a...deliberate career path. Without this support, a career can be subject to the winds of chance or can be stuck...for years. With direction from Your Finest Work, you can take control of your own career, directing it towards a meaningful future."

"There are books on theory and then there are books where it's clear the author has truly been in the trenches and they can make their theories actionable. Merideth accomplishes the latter with Your Finest Work. She demonstrates that she's been there with her clients and cares deeply about providing you (the reader) with clear, actionable steps to make work work for you. Let this book be your guide out of the traps you're barely conscious of and into a satisfying career path, no matter where you are now."
