Review of Thriving In The Modern Workplace
3 posts
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Thriving In The Modern Workplace" by Giselle Sandy-Phillips.]
Being born into the Gen Z generation can be frustrating. It comes with a lot of expectations, such as building a career, earning money, and the need to make significant achievements. In Thriving in the Modern Workplace: A Gen Z Guide to Success by Giselle Sandy-Phillips, we get to learn various strategies and practical advice for building a life and career that we desire.
The book starts by informing us of how difficult it is to start a career until it finally works and goes on to define what makes the reader Gen Z. In the chapters of this book, the author helps us understand the unique challenges of Gen Z, and it addresses the important topic of “Career Expectations vs. Reality.” We also understand why Gen Z faces these challenges and how they are intentional about taking risks. We get to see how technology is Gen Z’s greatest advantage but also its biggest challenge. The book makes it easy for readers to have a focused read based on their path, whether they are goal-oriented or someone who wants the vibes and freedom. It also addresses many important topics, such as “Mental Health & Work Life Balance,” “Mastering Communication & Professionalism,” and many more that would help readers build a career they desire.
The book is a self-help book written in a conversational style, and what makes it stand out among others is that it’s modern, relatable, and has a touch of humor. So, whether you fall under the category of those who want to build their brands or are trying to break free from the traditional 9-to-5, then this book is the best for you to get the most detailed information to achieve your goals. It does not pressure readers into being anything else but to define success on their own terms. The author clearly communicates the positives of being Gen Z and also the challenges we face in various situations, such as how Gen Z communicates differently. I like how the book serves as a guide and answers difficult questions we have in our career path, like in “Career Agility.” I also agree with the author that AI might automate tasks, but they cannot replace empathy, creativity, and ethical judgment. The book has several assessments that readers can try out, and this makes it very useful. Including “Pulse Check” in some chapters was nice, and it helped me pause while reading and reflect on my habits and choices.
My only dislike would be that the book felt repetitive in some chapters, although it might have been done on purpose to stress important ideas. Even with that, I would still give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it had a positive impact on me, and the editing was very well done. I believe this book is perfect for young adults, Gen Z, and even older adults who want to better understand this generation.
