Becoming You

An inspiring, wise, and highly practical method for discovering your true self and identifying the fulfilling career meant just for you, based on the New York Times bestselling author’s acclaimed NYU class.

Bestselling author and career expert Suzy Welch helps you answer the question, “What should I do with my life?” Based on a methodology Suzy has spent the past 15 years developing, researching, testing, and teaching, Becoming You helps people discover their authentic purpose.

The Becoming You methodology is about teaching you who you are when you’re standing still, so that when you get moving, you actually know which way to go. It’s about building the bridge between the life you’re living, and the life you want, can and should be living. In the lexicon of Becoming You, it about finding your “Area of Transcendence,” which is made possible when:

You live according to your deepest, most authentic values.You’re in alignment with your strongest and most unique aptitudes.Your work is economically viable, and calls you emotionally or economically, or both.Welch introduces concepts and exercises that help readers uncover their values, identify their aptitudes, and pinpoint their economically viable interests. Along the way, we meet people from all walks of life, at all stages of their journey, putting their values, aptitudes and interests together to create their Areas of Transcendence.

Becoming You is a true-to-life exploration of what is required to achieve self-knowledge and how to apply those discoveries to your life, your career(s), your relationships, and even your hopes and dreams. It's a guide for personal transformation that anyone, regardless of background, age, career, location, or education, can use to discover the most fulfilled version of you. It’s about you waking up, opening your eyes, and thinking, “I. Am. So. Excited. About. Today.”
