Becoming You: The Proven Method for Crafting Your Authentic Life and Career

An inspiring, wise and highly practical method for discovering your true self and identifying the fulfilling career just for you.

No matter where we are in our lives, be it atop the heights of achievement or just setting out on our journey, we’ve all had that moment where we’ve wondered, “What is my purpose? What was I born to do?” The answer can feel just within our grasp, or as far off as the horizon. How in the world do we get there?

Enter Becoming You, a joyful, deeply researched, and immediately applicable step-by-step guidebook to help you answer that very question. Based on the phenomenally popular NYU class by the same name, and used by thousands of people around the world, Becoming You is an empathic yet absolutely zero-BS method designed to help you understand where you want to go and what you want to do in today’s ever-changing world.

Professor Suzy Welch, a respected expert in careers, decision-making, and identity formation, is the Director of NYU Stern’s Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing. A graduate of Harvard and Harvard Business School, and a former columnist for O: The Oprah Magazine, she has consulted for some of America’s largest companies, is a frequent commentator for the Wall Street Journal, and a regular guest on the Today Show and CNBC. Her previous three books have been New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers, and her fast-growing, authentic, and often hilarious ""Becoming You"" podcast has fans worldwide.

But more than anything, Professor Welch is a teacher and agent of transformation. After a life filled with wide and varied experiences, from crime reporter to tech entrepreneur, her own purpose is helping others find theirs. She created Becoming You out of fifteen years of researching and testing with the heartfelt goal of helping people discover a way forward in a complex world. To that end, Becoming You guides readers through the process of excavating their truest values, identifying their outstanding aptitudes, and finally, pinpointing their economically viable interests, that is, the kind of work that calls them emotionally and intellectually, and also makes sense financially. Ultimately, Becoming You, at turns warm, witty, pragmatic, and filled with tough-love, is your guide to discovering the life you were meant to live.
