Reviews

“In The Search Mr. Feiler makes the case that, by reflecting on their personal experience and asking a few probing questions of themselves, people can craft ‘work stories’—that is, narratives that help people make sense of their various professional twists and turns and help people create their own definitions of success alongside the meaning they are looking for.” —The Wall Street Journal
